      The way the windows have reflected your neighbours houses and driveways makes this look like a painting.

        For a moment, I was judging your choice to paint a bright blue line around each window. I thought it was trim 🤣. Anyways, looks awesome! I’d love to see it a photo with the tape removed!

          Honestly, the blue trim as a highlight with the brown door works pretty well in my eyes

              I see a gen1 Skoda Yeti I guess. They had dsg transmission issues fixed later in gen2. I had a gen2 car, and it was a great pleasure to drive it. These are kinda dull facts, but I am not sorry.

                I don't bother taping around window panes like that because I find that I can scrape the paint off the glass with a razor scraper pretty much just as fast.

                (I suppose it might depend on the pane size, since positioning pieces of tape gets more efficient as the length of the pieces gets longer. A big window is probably worth taping off.)

                  Gotta watch out for those; somebody could doxx OP using that information.

                  (Not that it's likely, given that this is !dull_mens_club, after all, but ya never know!)

                        A brush might have been the better choice. Could have saved those coats šŸ˜›

                            Dulux Weathershield. I skimped on the preparation, which is why it doesn't look as good as it could do. I only sanded using 80 and didn't bother with primer.

                                Whoever painted my house before I lived in it clearly thought that too, half my windows have scratches and gouges in them the rest I had to clean myself with acetone.
