    Looks like you need to deal with crown, too.

    Yeah I do. It shouldn't be a problem though. I only need to make one outside corner & I'm not half bad with those . It's the inside ones that give me fits.
    The local lumber yard has some in stock that comes real close to what's up there.
    My poor wife - she was almost in tears when I told her I had to rip down the crown and put up new.

    I'd use the same top coat too.

    Anyone use the handheld, small paint color matcher device at home from Sherwin-Williams? I'll have to look up the name for it, but its a tiny spectrophotometer that connects to your phone and suggests the matching Sherwin-Williams paint color. Worked pretty well for me in matching Felder paint colors for a cabinet in my workshop.
