5 Things to Consider Before You Paint Your Interior Trim and Doors:
Painting your trim and doors is a great way to give your interior a great face-lift. There are, however, many factors that you should consider before you take the leap to paint your interior trim and doors. Here are 5 things to consider before you paint your interior trim and your interior doors:
- Once you paint your trim, it is very costly to go back to the original wood look. You would have to strip the finish off and re-stain and re-poly the surfaces.
- Painting your trim does not last forever. If you run into the doors or trim, and gouge the finish down to the wood, it is going to show through.
- Trends change. There was a point in time that it was cool to tight-roll your jeans. Oh wait…
- Painting your trim correctly, takes time and is labor intensive. It is not easy to do properly. If you take a shortcut, it will greatly affect the durability of the job.
- Paint fumes will be annoying during the process. Trim paint and primer smells.
