I'm painting my front door black. I was doing "Sealskin" by Sherwin Williams, but noticed immediately upon opening the can that it looked green. After starting the project, I realized it is green! Not black. Gross.
So I called Sherwin Williams and they said it was just a greenish base and it would be black by the next coat. So I did another one. It was still green, just darker green.
I took it back today and they said it was truly green and was a rare fluke with their mixing recipe. They apologized and replaced it with a real black. I chose "Black Fox" this time. So, the door is well primed and will need 1 to 2 more coats to make it fully black. More work, but hopefully we'll get it right this time.
So, my question for you is, should I paint the stained glass surround black also? My painter thought I should leave it white for contrast. I'm not sure he's right. My husband likes the white surround, but I'm very on the fence. I think it makes it more modern (or maybe dated) and less timeless. Thoughts? Please!!!
