Crown molding is a very hard things to do yourself. You can look up how to DIY on crownmolding.com. But, I recommend going with a professional because they will best know how to cut the angles and measure everything correctly.
First, when painting crown molding, you will need to find an out of the way place for painting in. This place must fit the following criteria... * have sufficient square footage to accommodate all of the crown molding laid out flat and allow room for you to safely reach every inch of every stick. (painting crown molding is difficult if you can't reach it) * is totally dry. Do Not let your painted crown molding sit outside over night where it is vulnerable to dew or fog. * is safe from air born dust, dirt, leaves etc. Cover the entire floor space with painters plastic and lay out the crown molding in rows. For easy painting of your crown molding, it's best to group the rows in three to five sticks depending on your arm length. Also it is much easier to paint if they are raised up off the ground. I use buckets and 2x4s to do this. If you crown molding is white already then it is primered, you can skip that step. If not you will need to apply a coat of primer to seal the molding. No need to go very thick with it, one coat will do. Once dry, sand the primer coat lightly.Applying Paint:Generously apply the paint to two sticks at a time. Keep the spray nozzle consistently at the same distance from the crown molding (read the instructions on the box for the exact space)Repeat the process for all the sticks and apply a second coat once dry.
Crown molding adds style and a finished touch to rooms that need a little help with decor. Crown molding is the topmost molding that is installed where the wall meets the ceiling and adding it can change the look and feel of a room instantly. There are many types of crown molding available in various woods and synthetic materials like Styrofoam and plastic. With new lighter weight materials, installing crown molding is no longer a tedious job for a carpenter and can be a home project that the homeowner can do with some direction and skill. Choosing The Crown Molding Crown molding is available in many different designs and heights, so the style of the room is important. Tips for selecting the right crown molding for the space: * Ceiling height - the lower the ceiling height, the simpler and smaller the molding. Adding a heavy, ornate crown molding to a room with an 8’ ceiling is not a good idea because crown molding will visually lower the ceiling height. Keep it simple and small for low ceilings. Heavy, decorative molding is great for ceiling heights above 10’ that can afford the loss of height. * Room style - coordinate the style and feeling of the room with the style of the crown molding. If the house is extremely modern, a heavy, decorative traditional molding will not blend well with the decor and will visually detract from the simple image and feel of the modern space. * Finish - decide on paint or stain. The finish should coordinate and complement the decor in the room. If stain is better, crown molding is available in a variety of woods such as pine, poplar, oak, maple and cherry. If paint is better, wood or synthetic moldings are appropriate, but the synthetics like foam, Styrofoam or mdf are much lighter, cheaper and easier to install. Making The Purchase * Estimating material - measure around the room on the floor or the wall. Measure each wall length, then total it and add another 10 - 15% for waste. Crown molding comes in precut lengths: wood moldings are usually in 12’ or 16’ lengths; foam moldings are 8’. Example: if all 4 walls (15’ each) total 60’ + 15% waste (addl. 9’) = 69’ needed. If the molding comes in 8’ lengths: 69 divided by 8 = 8.625 pieces - round up to 9 pieces. * Delivery - remember that crown molding comes in precut lengths, the smallest is 8’. Most local companies will allow customer pickups, but if you can’t accommodate the sizes it’s best to schedule a delivery. Most local companies will deliver materials either free or for a nominal charge.

You can use either water or oil based paint, which are both available in a variety of sheens to paint molding. Water based satin coatings are very popular for crown molding in 2012 and have been for several years, while an oil based semi-gloss are the best choice for baseboards and door moldings where available.
Crown molding is used for different end results. If you are using it for baseboards you will use a stud sensor to locate the studs in the wall and than shoot the molding into the wall with a finish nail that is long enough to secure it through the sheetrock into the wooden stud. If the molding is used around doors you don't need a stud sensor. There are studs framing in the opening. Most door openings are framed in two inches bigger than the prehung door. This allows the installer the ability to slide in the door, shim it to level, and than shoot it in. That is why you should have no trouble shooting in molding around a door. If the molding is used in furniture there is a wooden cleat behind the molding that you can shoot into with a finish nail. You will than fill in the hole left with a finish nail with putty.
