Here is an upstairs bathroom with stripes we just finished painting for a customer who's given us thousands of dollars of work over the last few years.

Our customer, Eric, had already planned out where he wanted the stripes to go on the wall and what colors him and his wife had picked out.

After painting the bathroom ceiling, walls and woodwork, I used a level (I put tape on the level to keep the walls clean) and lightly made my pencil lines.

I used painter's tape (blue) and it worked really well. No bleed-thru on the edges like with regular masking tape.

Here I am removing the tape the next day after the stripes are dry. Notice I am pulling the tape into the color. It may help to keep the painted edge sharper.

Here's the finished product. The other walls are painted either solid green or solid blue. This is the only wall with the stripes.

This is the prettiest painting job we have ever done. Eric and his wife are good at picking out colors that look like the beach scene.

Not to brag or anything, but these pictures really don't do it justice, compared to actually being there and seeing the finished job.

Thanks for visiting this page. Check back in a month or so and maybe I'll have some new on-the-job painting pics for you to see
