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

What happens here

For door jambs, use a specific sequence of passes to ensure complete coverage. Begin with a pass along the top of the jamb. Then, spray the vertical sides, using a side-angle pass if the space is too tight for a direct shot. Follow this with a pass across the face of the jamb, and finish with another side-angle pass or a straight-on pass for the inner edge. Repeat this for both vertical sides of the door jamb. When moving from a door jamb to an adjacent baseboard, always spray the baseboard away from the freshly painted door jamb to prevent any displaced dust from settling onto the wet jamb paint. Carefully manage your hose to avoid dragging it across wet surfaces or interfering with your movement, especially when working on a ladder.

Goal: Achieve a smooth, even paint finish on door jambs and adjacent baseboards.

What they say

Hide

about spraying baseboards uh for and getting a perfect finish. I'm going to do the door jam and roll right around into these baseboards. So top. Now I can't hit the sides here on this door jamb because they're too tight. So adjust the face. Now I'm going to do the opposite side. So, manage your hose really well. Came close to hitting the door there. So, I'm gonna hit the top. This side's too tight. So, I'm going to hit on. I'll continue with the baseboard. I'm going to shoot away from my door jamb so I don't kick dust on my door jamb. Just like that. Also going to do a video how I would spray a window sill to get that perfect flat smooth finish doing a window sill.
