Five of us braved the windy wet evening to continue with the painting that we started for Get Cycling on a group run a few weeks earlier. Having previously done a white undercoat on the whole room we were given a section to do the grey top coat for. Luckily the really expensive bikability bikes had been moved to the other side of the room this time. There was an initial confusion of greys between the pots that meant some of the darker door grey got used on the top band instead of the mid grey although luckily not confused confused with the third pot of lighter bottom grey. We did go over it when it had sort of dried but it still didn't quite match the rest of the band. Abigail and James did the top section as they were the tallest, leaving Angela, Antonia and Laura to do the lower parts. Despite a bit of a paint splattered floor Joanne seemed happy with our efforts. Her young son came and gave us encouraging feedback as we painted which was an added bonus.
