Getting a straight, thin line of paint is not easy to do. I spent several hours marking and taping it out before painting. It's not perfect, but you have to look right down it to catch any waviness.The strip took all of about 5 minutes per side for each coat (2 in total). The graphic work took a bit longer. I worried about how I was going to transfer the patterns but it turned out to be super easy. I printed out the design on printer paper. I then roughly cut out the design, leaving about 1/2" all round it. Then, I used a pencil to shade in in the entire back side of the design. I taped it into place, then traced the outline with a mechanical pencil. This left me a faint, but easily visible pencil outline. Then, it was just a matter of painting inside the lines. I don't have the greatest hand for this, but it looks nice from 2 feet away, so I'm happy with it.


The design looks good.
