I've got a bunch of shutter louveres to paint (like nearly 250). The shutters need to match the trim of the windows since they will be sitting right next to them. After playing around (a LOT), I could never get the color just right. After going to the local pain store, they were able to pull it up from the builder's records and get me a perfect match.
That's the problem... I'm stuck with a gloss latex paint.
The shutters rails and stiles are all poplar. The louvers are basswood.
I have an Earlex HVLP sprayer whicih I would love to employ on this arduous task. Can anyone recommend a primer? I've used the Zinsser primer in the past, and I think it's wonderful. I know I will have to thin this stuff down pretty good.
