Hi Steve, I'd left B&A a couple of years before your time there, i see you mention Ron from the stores. I still remember the time he was telling me about when he painted his living room.
He had done it in Magnolia, but his wife thought it looked a bit plain. He added an ingredient that darkened it slightly and she was pleased with the result. Anyway, the next morning he came down and the whole room had a streak effect.
Ronnie had added gravy browning to the paint.
