How to Paint Baseboards Like a Pro (No Runs, No Drips!)

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

Select the appropriate spray tip for the trim size. For tall baseboards (approximately 6 inches, as shown in the video), a 510 tip is recommended, as a 310 tip would not cover the entire height in a single pass. If the baseboards or trim are 4 inches or smaller, a 310 tip would be suitable. For consistency in new construction where different trim pieces (doors, headers, baseboards) are being painted, using a single tip size like the 510 can save time and effort by avoiding frequent tip changes. The presenter highly recommends the TriTech 510 tip for its quality.

Goal: Select the optimal spray tip for efficient and even paint application on trim.

510 tip. These baseboards are pretty tall. I think they're like 6 in baseboards. And a 310 tip will not span, you know, that gap typically in one pass. I You'll see how I actually do the baseboards. And I'm just a big fan of a 510 tip. If if the baseboards were 4in trim or smaller, I'd use a 310. I use a 510 doing new construction cuz the doors are in a 510. This trim package right here has to be in a 510 because the header. And then same with the baseboards. I don't like changing tips cuz then, you know, you throw it in your pocket. The time changing a tip is just to me obnoxious. I just pick a tip, stick with that tip. On this job, due to the the size of the trim, we're using a um 510, a Triek 510 is right now at the making of this video, that's the best 510 tip that you can actually buy and use. There's no comparison in my humble
