Hi Everyone,

Just finished up the finishing touches on some urban house fronts. This was my first time working with these type of fronts and it didn't come without error. I have taken pics through every step. Pic #2 shows where the boo boo came in and when it happened a few choice words filled the train room and maybe the neighborhood. After I spent a crazy amount of time masking off the building to paint the frames and sills, I removed most of the previously painted brick work. This was even after dull cote was used. Afterwards, I ended up brush painting the area with the closest colors I had and it actually worked out fine (pic #3). It created a variation in the color which gave a pre-weathered look.
