Repair Work

December 9, 2009 //  by Paint It!

A few days ago, I gave you a tour of a job I did in 2003. I was revisiting this condo to do a little repair work.

Crack b4A crack had developed on this wall and my finish had blistered and cracked. Luckily, I had kept some good records from this job. The condo unit had been sold to someone new shortly after I completed the original work and my name and contact info were passed on to the new owner. The finish was done with LusterStone, which is very easy to repair.

Crack repairI scraped and sanded the area and applied some patch compound. Once dry, I feathered on the original base paint color used under the Lusterstone.

Crack dryingTo speed things up, I used a blow dryer between the layering.

Once the base paint was dry, it was easy to feather in the LusterStone with a small Japan Scraper.

Me apronOh, I almost forgot…

Here’s a rare shot of me NOT wearing my painter’s overalls while I work! I knew this job would only take me an hour or less, and was off to do something non-paint related after, so I donned my apron instead! Of course, I did manage to get some of the Lusterstone on my sweater sleeve :-(, but it washed out.
