Got home today, and the bottom layer needed ANOTHER coat of paint. Also, the trimming needed work to fill in some spots where the white undercoat was showing through a little.

The 3rd coat went on easily/cleanly, and was done in no time for the most part. It was also nice and dry out today, so the paint dried quickly - I think I waited 2-3 hours max and I was able to peel off all of my painters tape in the garage.

The separation line is clean with VERY few spots that bled at all - I don't think I'll be doing an intermediate stripe to clean up the line. Not for now, at least. Also, the bottom layer with the good 3rd coat looks good.

The paint is far from perfect overall, but I'm extremely pleased with the final results considering much of it was a learning process for me anyway.

I also took time to wire up my new switches and wall sockets, with the diamond plate covers. I'll take pictures of the completed paint with my shelving installed tomorrow.
