My latest project: Looks cream in the photo but is actually a pale yellow
Valspar Bleached blonde, Windsong and shutters and dark trim are Midnight sky

I've been thinking about painting the deck white, but I think I prefer the dark waterseal

Your home looks so nice, I have a 99 chandeular and it looks just like your before picture. I now have hope that mine can also look as nice. Thanks for sharing.

The Valspar paint is a bit pricey, but I've painted a MH before and skimped on the paint.. Don't do it! Get good quality paint.


Thanks everyone, I was afraid it was going to look too "pastel" but I like it.

Denise, I brushed the first coat just to get good coverage in the nooks & crannies.. rolled the second coat.

Very nice, Curlylocks! So, is this just regular (Valspar) Exterior paint or something more?
