The finished color looks biege with a greyish tint to it, much lighter than my previous photo. Only problem is the weather turned cool today and since I must paint outside got an eggshell finish on my first coat. Will have to sand it smooth and spray another coat tomorrow, but the color looks good to me.

Sorry to hear of your weather related paint problem. Please post more pics when you are re-painted.
