Applying First Coat of Trim Paint

Painting Trim with The Idaho Painter
What happens here
Once the masking is complete, apply the first coat of white, water-based paint to the exterior window trim. The painter uses a 3-inch Premier Riverdale angled sash brush for this task. He highlights that the trim has a deep, rough grain, and hand-brushing is preferred over spraying for such surfaces. Brushing ensures better adhesion and deeper penetration of the paint into the texture, contributing to a more durable and longer-lasting finish. A 'Brush Buddy' tool is used to keep the brush clean and free from excess paint when not in active use.
Goal: Apply the initial coat of water-based paint to the textured window trim using an angled sash brush for optimal adhesion and durability.
