What are your furniture/wall/stuff painting successes?

I mean furniture/wall/stuff painting as opposed to painting pictures.

I’m fixing the porch windows in our building. They were neglected and the wood is in bad shape. Some of the windows are in OK condition and I clean and paint them. I make replacements for the others.

This isn’t a fine woodworking project, it’s just-good-enough because probably the porch and maybe the whole building will be replaced in a few years.

But dang, the windows sure look great after coats of primer and then paint. The paint makes a HUGE improvement.

I’ve also had a car re-painted with great results. It was like a new ride for just a few hundred bucks.

What satisfaction has paint given you?
