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.
