With brushes at the ready, the team applied the final layer of white, finally banishing the blue for good. The throne room has been completely transformed from a dark dated space to a bright space and we’ve virtually crossed the finish line in the fourth visit!

Four of the team returned to the Merton and Morden Guild to take care of a number two coat of paint this evening!

It was a well timed tag-team effort with two GoodGymers arriving for the earlier shift to get the masking tape in place and prep the space. For the second shift they were soon joined by two more members to tackle the main event: applying the second coat to the walls and starting the woodwork with a layer of gloss.

We will be back to add the finishing touches very soon.

Three GoodGymers headed to the Merton and Morden Guild to tackle a task that was anything but a bog-standard paint job. Making moody blue to a brilliant, fresh white.

We kicked things off with a heavy session of masking tape. Then came the real challenge: the texture. Those interestingly bumpy blue walls required some serious effort, but between some expert cutting-in and heavy-duty rollering, we made sure the blue we could reach was well and truly whitened. We will be back to work on another coat and deal with the gloss as soon as we can.
