Note that the top part looks a bit washed out due to sunlight and camera setting. In real it looks more like the lower part. I'm agree with darker colour with more strong highlights. Dont want any part to look cement. Seeing with the cascade on is also a good idea since the nearby area will definately change colour to a certain degree due to dampness.
Not to worry though, the paintjob is not finished yet in any case.
I'm a bit annoyed (but that that worried) about the stained viewing windows though. They try to convince me about how they can clean it spotless after the job is done. Not my business... I'd just ask for new windows if they mess up, leaving stain or scratched the glass in the process!
And so we have to wait quite a long time for the next level...
