Paint Window Trim in 3 Minutes
What happens here
Before beginning to paint, ensure the window pane is completely protected from paint. The video shows a window that has already been masked off using painter's tape to define the edges of the trim and plastic sheeting to cover the glass. Gather your painting tools, including a 2-gallon cut-in bucket with a screen, a paint brush, and a roller with a roller cover. The painter introduces the Purdy Chinex brush and a 4-inch roller with a Purdy White Dove 3/8-inch nap roller cover.
Goal: Mask the window pane and gather all necessary painting tools and paint.
