What happens here
An alternative, though less efficient, method for painting a room with different colors/sheens is to spray the trim first. After the trim dries, it would need to be thoroughly masked using painter's plastic and 9-inch paper and tape to protect it completely. Then, the walls can be rolled. Once the walls are dry, they would also need to be masked off to prevent overspray before finally spraying the ceilings. This sequence is cautioned against as it is more time-consuming and requires significantly more masking materials compared to spraying ceilings first.
Goal: Understand an alternative, less efficient method when spraying trim first in a multi-color/sheen room
