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

What happens here

Begin by using a power drill to remove the screws securing the door hinges to the frame. As hinges and screws are removed, place them into a designated bucket, keeping hinge screws separate from any other hardware to prevent mixing. Exercise caution when removing screws to avoid scratching the hinges, especially if they are a specific finish like bronze. Avoid tossing hinges into the bucket to prevent damage. This step ensures that doors can be painted off-site or laid flat for easier application, and hardware remains clean and protected from paint, dust, or overspray.

Goal: Safely remove all interior doors from their frames and meticulously store hinges and screws to prevent damage or loss during the painting preparation process.
