Completely on stylistic grounds I think. It sounds stuffy to me -- like saying My friend GG is one of intelligence and good humor . What's the phrase?

It is the direct object of the sentence They painted the brown floor. However, when it comes to the second sentence, the analysis differs, the floor brown is not a single noun phrase, but two phrases - the floor + brown . They painted the floor brown. = They painted the floor . It became brown . As you can see, this sentence expresses two thoughts, and, by combining them, we get a noun phrase ( the floor), which is still the direct object of the sentence, and another noun phrase ( brown ), which characterizes the direct object and is known as an object complement .

It's a mixed metaphor/simile for tension, but it used to be quite popular. The coil springs which powered old fashioned toys were wound up with a key. We used to wind our watches. But we would take care not to wind them too tight. The plastic or rawhide "heads" of most (musical) drums are "tuned," so to speak, by stretching them tighter and tighter over the frame of the drum until the sound (when struck) meets with our approval.

In your example, the word mentality most probably implies the capacity for intelligent thought, but Oxford Dictionary reveals that this meaning of the word is obsolete . Therefore, you'd better try rewording your original idea. As some possible variants have already been proposed, you may choose out of them or find another one which suits your needs.
