Painting is done, except for the inevitable touch-ups that always seem to be necessary. For those of you that have been guessing my inspiration was the CreamSicles.
Desperate for something I was looking at all the paint chips in the rack and thought about a tangerine color when it came to me. A Creamsicle!
I looked at lot of color combinations but I think I nailed this one. I had to get a friend of mine to help with finding the right creamy white but it all turned out just like I had in mind.
Keep in mind your monitor and my dark shop don’t lend themselves to a good color matching photos but it exactly what I had in mind. A slightly creamy orange and with a creamy white with just a hint of an orange tint. Just looks like a Creamsicle to me! BTW, I am seriously considering renaming it Popsicle. I am not happy with the name Cotton Row.

Also, do you brush, roll or spray the paint?
Roll it on with a little thinner most times. It’s much faster for me and I get a better look. I sometimes have to tip it with a foam brush.
I use an air powered stapler. It’s stronger enough to drive the nails flush. Monel staples.
Love the color scheme, Jeff. I’ve thought alot about orange, since it shows up so well on the water, and this tint is the one I would want.
