Late Saturday afternoon I decided to 'go for it' and painted my windmill's blades red. I say 'go for it' as the temperature was in the 40s, it was 6 pm, and the forecast was for rain on Sunday.
The paint can's label said the paint would dry in four hours when the temperature was 35 degrees.
I can do it.
I painted the windmill's blades and still had time to paint one of my rain gutters' downspouts.
I woke up Sunday morning to a light rain/drizzle.
The windmill's blades were again silver as the paint had washed off. Some of the pretty rocks beneath the windmill were red and/or pink and I had to scrub the paint off them this morning. I picked up the downspout from where I left it under the patio overnight to dry and found the paint to be wet.
*argh!*
At least the downspout was under the patio and the rain hadn't washed the paint off. Now if it would only dry. And the rain to stop as I have projects to complete before winter arrives.
