CAULKING AND SPACKLING TIPS. DIY How to paint trim. Tips painting trim work.

What happens here

Once all spackling and caulking are complete and dry, the trim is ready for the priming and painting stages. The presenter strongly advocates for spraying the trim with an airless sprayer for a truly professional, 'automobile finish' look. He mentions that brushing or rolling trim will not achieve the same high-quality, smooth result. If you are new to airless sprayers, he suggests watching his other videos for guidance. For optimal results, apply two coats of primer followed by two coats of the desired topcoat paint. This comprehensive preparation and spraying technique will make the trim look brand new and exceptionally high-quality.

Goal: After completing the spackling and caulking, the trim is ready for priming and painting. The video emphasizes spraying for a superior, professional-grade finish.
