Paint trim and doors

Slow, thin and smooth.

5 min read

Trim and doors get handled a lot, so they need a durable finish.

Tips

  • Clean and lightly sand glossy trim first
  • Use semi-gloss or gloss for durability
  • Apply thin coats with a good brush
  • Paint doors with hardware removed, from top to bottom
  • Let trim cure before closing doors or replacing hardware
