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.

I paint interior doors to match the trim, but everyone has their own ideas.
I M NOT A GOOD PAINTER ,I GOT PAINT ALL OVER THE WINDOW TRIM AND WALL TRIM .HOW DO I GET THAT PAINT OFF WITH OUT MESSING UP TRIM
1- Door & Window frames first (and the ceilings if applicable)2- Next the Walls.3- Then you finish off with the baseboards.The reason why it's important to paint the frames before the walls is that it is much easier to cut a strait line with your brush comfortably resting on a wall (compared to the tiny edge of of frame).Now the reason why you don't paint the baseboards first is in 2 part.1- Even if you do a great job cutting in with the brush and not put any paint on the baseboards, you're still going to have tiny drops from when you roll out the wall paint.2- The most important reason for DIY's however is to create the illusion of a straighter line.The logic is simple... unless you are lying down on the floor... you will be admiring the beauty of your new paint job from a higher point than your baseboards. This means that if there should be any of the trim paint touching the wall it won't be as noticeable than having some wall paint touching the top of the baseboards.Test it... and see for yourself :)Happy Painting Everyone!
yes, it works perfectly, although I used a semi gloss. The paint is tougher and is less likely to soften due to moisture in the bathroom.
Because it's only intended for trim, doors, and windows, if it's used on all the wall, it will make that wall look cheap. A better choice for a wall is a washable, matte paint that will not show off every imperfection the way a semi-gloss will.
Yes or it can be the same as the wall paint if it should be flat.

Paint the ceiling first. Work top down.
To effectively put trim on a wall, measure and cut the trim to fit, then use a nail gun or hammer to secure it in place. Fill any gaps with caulk and paint or stain the trim to match the wall.

To fix peeling wall paint, you should first scrape off the loose paint, sand the area smooth, clean the surface, apply a primer, and then repaint the wall with a fresh coat of paint.
The same shade of white.
To remove wall trim effectively and safely, start by scoring the paint along the edges of the trim with a utility knife. Then, use a pry bar or trim removal tool to gently pry the trim away from the wall. Be careful not to damage the wall or the trim during the process. Once the trim is removed, fill any nail holes and sand the area smooth before repainting or installing new trim.
It's easier if you paint around doors and windows and top and bottom of walls first.
It is generally recommended to paint the baseboard first before painting the wall when painting a room. This helps to avoid getting paint on the freshly painted walls when painting the baseboards.
