∙ 12y ago- First, make sure that you fill all cracks and crevices with caulk.
- Next, paint the ceiling, so you don't get spray on the walls you previously painted.
- Next paint the trim. Use a semi-gloss or gloss finish. If you follow this order, you need not be careful. In fact, you should paint onto the wallboard around the trim.
- Now, use a brush (2 inch width) to paint the walls around the trim. Use an egg shell finish. Here's what I finally learned to get my trim to look good.
- I paint the wall color RIGHT IN THE CREVICE AROUND THE TRIM. Yep! I get paint on the trim, but I make sure that there is paint in the crevice.
- Now, I use a wet rag to wipe that paint away. My semi-gloss finish on the trim makes it easy. But, I don't push my finger so hard that I wipe away the paint in the crevice! What results is a beautiful straight line in the crevice that is the color of the walls.
- Now, I can use my brush to paint the wall up to that line in the crevice. The line on the trim side is already straight. So, if I carefully paint up to it, I get a straight line around the trim. I paint about a 2 inch swath all the way around the trim and the ceiling with a brush. It may take two coats to cover well. Trust me, this is So much easier than trying to get a straight line by brushing up to the trim.
- Finally, I roll the paint on the walls up to my paint around the trim. That's the easy part!

How do you get dried paint off of woodwork?
Use a heat-gun and a scraper. You can soften most paints with heat. Do it outside and try not to inhale the fumes. Or obtain a paint stripper from your hardware store and follow the directions given. After you have found out how horrible it is to remove paint you will start to think differently about the benefits of painting wood. You can also find some techniques here >>planswoodworking.info/
Should you paint the trim or the wall first?
If you're using rollers on the walls - paint the wall first. Rollers always emit a powder-fine spray of paint into the room. No matter how careful you are, some of it will end up on the trim. By painting your trim last, you cover up the little paint spots the roller made. On the other hand, if you're not using rollers, you may want to do the trim first. When you get all the slow, detail work out of the way first you'll feel as if you're flying right along when it's time to fill in the big, flat areas. Bottom line - there is disagreement even among veteran painters about whether to paint trim before or after painting walls. Hopefully these ideas will give you a way to choose.
