Will you paint a plimsoll line on it?

That's a good idea. I was thinking of commissioning a Banksy mural but a plimsoll line and some ships would be a lot cheaper.

Could we please have the measurements of the wall and whether it is internal or external and the current state of the surface, before committing ourselves gringrin

Tell us what size of paint brush and whether you plan to do two coats or only one. Also what kind of paint you are using. Some dry a lot faster than others.

Does cheap pound shop paint dry faster or slower than quality brands? Are you allowed to use them, or is Farrow and Ball specified?.

It has to be good quality now't but the best around here. For a backgtound do we go for Battleship grey?

WHICH battleship grey*? Don't leave it hanging like that! It's doing my head in!

* UK battleship grey is different (darker) than US battleship grey.

PS Minibags has plimsoll thingies the same colour as her hair. Maroon. They look nice.So does her hair.

PPS She's allowed to have maroon hair at school but not maroon shoes. Some school rules are bonkers.

A battleship grey colour chart so you can choose. It's very important to get it right.
