New trim staining is the easiest for professional painting contractors. New trim staining normally happens before installation. Trim is stained on racks and then installed. If you are interested in having your trim stained, rely on our skilled technicians at Elite Pro Painting.
The normal process for staining new trim involves cleaning the trim. If the surface is not clean, the stain will not absorb properly leaving the surface splotchy. From there, apply stain and wipe off the excess followed by the putting on the first coat of polyurethane. After the material dries, it will be lightly sanded to create a smooth finish and second coat of polyurethane is applied and third if necessary.
Obviously, there are factors that can change the above process. Sometimes the trim is installed between the staining steps and the polyurethane steps.
Is it new trim or previously stained trim?
Is the trim going to be stained hanging, or stained on the ground or on stands?
What look are you going for? Do you want a shiny new look? Do you want a flat – worn look?
Are you trying to match current stain? Or are you making a new stain altogether?
