Stirred, not shaken

I took two days off this week to get some painting done before Thanksgiving.  Today was to paint the two kitchen cabinet walls.  Problem number one showed itself as soon as I opened the paint container.  The container had not been shaken at the store where I had purchased the paint.  As the color is a deep red, I stirred and shaked it for a good 20 minutes before things looked uniform.  

The cut in work took several hours after which we started to roll the paint on.  Problem number two - rolling the paint on revealed that it still wasn't mixed well and would occasionally show streaks of the added pigment.  We wound up having to take the paint back to Sherwin Williams to have them mix it with their machine. Upon getting back, we rolled on the first coat and found that the mixing changed the hue slightly from what was cut in.  We'll have to mask everything off again once things are dry and repaint tomorrow.

Mom said there would be days like this.
