Years ago I was building a video studio for my employer. We'd decided to paint
one wall green in case we wanted to do some chromakey work. I explained to the
guy that it was important that the wall be flat and the paint be
non-reflective.He spent half a day getting it flat, he finally made a sanding
block out of 4 feet of 2x6. You couldn't find an imperfection on that wall
anywhere. The paint was perfect too, he put on 3 coats in the second half of
the day and you couldn't see any lap lines or drips or anything. That guy was a
real expert.

While I was restoring the two 1875 mansions 30 years ago, I found that
everybody who "came along" wanting a job swore that he was the best painter
anywhere. Almost all of 'em were FOS, to put it bluntly.
