I got one quart of paint about a week ago, and then one of my neighbors anonymously placed a second quart on my doorstep on Saturday. I was somehow able to get two shipped to the same address, though one was delivered down the street incorrectly. I think I know why the neighbor marched it right up to my doorstep...
I chose the colors "goldenrod" and "tangerine peel" because they looked attractive online. I intended to use them to paint a bunch of Adirondack chairs I have on my patio that have faded over the years.
I sanded down to bare wood, then sealed the "punky" wood with some wood hardener, filled with all temperature rated wood filler, sanded, and primed three coats with Kilz Ultra. I still used one quart per chair.
On the upside, I'm kind of under a flight path for airplanes landing at CVG, and one pilot friend said he can see my chair on the back patio when he's landing! Seriously some of the brightest colored paint I have ever seen! I don't think my laptop shows true colors at all now, lol. I thought it looked more "creamsicle"-ish online. This is ORANGE, with six exclamation points!
