Flawless Interior Trim Prep & Paint | Pro Tips for Airless Sprayer Finish (New Construction)

What happens here

Once all spackle, Bondo, and caulk are dry, and all surfaces are clean and dust-free, apply a uniform coat of primer to the entire trim surface using a paint sprayer. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including a respirator and gloves. Ensure complete coverage of all wood, filler, and caulk. The primer will highlight any minor imperfections that may have been missed during previous steps, making them visible for final touch-ups. Allow the primer to dry completely according to manufacturer instructions before proceeding.

Goal: Spray apply a coat of primer to the entire prepared trim surface, allowing it to dry completely. This step reveals any missed imperfections and ensures optimal adhesion for the final paint coats.

Heat. Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. [Music] Heat. Hey, heat. Hey, heat. [Applause] [Music] [Applause] So, here's uh this door jam. We've been showing you kind of like the process in it. Now, we've got it shot with our primer, and we're going to let that dry and we'll do like our final inspection. The primer is going to bring out a few little things. I can see some stuff that needs to be sanded, a few little pin holes. Um, looks pretty dang good, but just kind of little few touch-ups with Bondo. Nothing big. So, that's the next step is inspecting all of our trim after we prime it. And then we'll sand that once again, dust it all again, vacuum and dust it, and then we'll shoot two coats of our top coat on it. But, it's coming right along. We're almost done priming all this trim. And we'll show you, you know, what it looks like, you know, spraying this uh door jamb and getting the finish coat on it. Heat. Heat. [Music]
