- In this DIY I show you how I paint wood trim. I am in no way a professional but this method works very well for me and I have been doing it this way for years!
I’m 16 and I’m tryna surprise my mom for her birthday so I’m going to spend about 600 dollars to remodel her room, and the family room too. This video helps me a lot with the wood trim thank you so much . 🥰
That is awesome! I'm glad this helped you and I hope your mom loves her surprise! Thanks for watching!😊💛

How did it go?
This was helpful, just painted all my red oak trim white and got some great tips. I used crud cutter to clean off all the build up and a scraper to get the crud off. Used a primer from valspar made for trim and cabinets. Sanded them with 220 sander before the primer. Did have some bleed through from the tannins in the wood, so tried a few different primers with the same issue but the valspar one went on more smoothly so went back to that. Used Sherman Williams emerald enamel based trim and cabinet paint and that stopped all the bleed through problems. The only thing I would suggest is a 2” roller. Made the priming and painting go on so quickly and smoothly. Thanks for taking the time to make it video. It’s very helpful for learning the right way to paint wood trim!
I just purchased the house w exact same wood trim and windows. I’m going to follow your steps to paint them white. Thank you.
Happy painting, thanks for watching!
✋🏼👊🏼😀❤️ So much fun. I always paint the trim white as well. Thank you for the the reminder about water and vinegar for the prep. Namaste 🙏 ☮️
Vinegar is good stuff for cleaning! Thanks for stopping by!
Thank you so much for making this video. I have been looking for one exactly like this. I bought an older home it has the stained trim and I’ve been wondering how I could paint it why so now I know it’s awesome video. Thank you again for making yet and sharing it with all of us you did a great job
Glad it was helpful!
I think the paints meant specifically for trim may cover and wear a bit better. I'm about to start all my word work as well, so I appreciate the "how to". I'm watching many video's and picking up good portions of the process from all. Your trim looks great, and you're a saint to do it over in each of your new homes! What a trooper!
I agree and buy paint specific for trim. Thanks so much!
Even sanding well before u prime if u are going from a dark stain will still bleed after priming…so use kilz or stix or both….i,used several coats of srix personally and after a few days if didnt show through that yellowish color…
Thank you AliciaLynn. My early 80's built 2 bedroom condo is very dated "late 70's" dark stained trim and windows in all the rooms. Gonna spend the time and paint all semi gloss white. Then painting the walls a light grayish tone. This will update the look of my condo especially with the new matching living room furniture. Every room, ceiling, walls and dark stained wood trim is getting painted. Way to dated and sick of it.
That sounds like it is going to look really nice when you are done! It is amazing how much of a difference just changing the trim color alone can do. Happy painting to you!
I’m going to save this video so I can’t come back to it later when I need it! Thank You☺️
Thanks for stopping by!
Yeah totally.....great video!!!!!!! Been dreading trying to put it all together looks like she's done a fantastic job.
Fantastic work! I love it!
It looks awesome!! Thank you! There's so much trim to do in a single room (base board, doors, window trim, etc...)
The finished result is fantastic! x
Really nice finish.
Enjoyed the transformation
Thanks!
Great job! I always dread painting trim. 😬 Looks like you've got it figured out! 👍
Thanks, and I hate painting trim too but I hate the 80's oak trim more! Thanks for stopping by!
if you're painting the whole room paint the trim and dont worry about the walls you can cover it with the wall paint
You may not be a professional Painter, but man you got some talent 👏👏
Thank you!
You’re supposed to sand each coat of primer to remove the streaks created by your brush.
Yeah, the only time I do that is if I am painting something that I want to have a really smooth surface, like my kitchen cabinets. When it comes to painting trim, I'm not that picky about brush marks. It is enough work doing the sanding before the primer!! You can always use an oil based paint to end up with less brush marks too which is much easier than sanding. Thanks for watching.
Really?
They sell non-sanding primers that you can use without sanding. I've been told they work well.
Good to know they work well! I'm paranoid about the paint peeling later so I will probably always want to sand at least a little! 😊
I hate painting but in the middle of a project that includes existing nice stained oak trim, I want to paint it white but hesitant about the prep work involved .. I think I would sand first with maybe with steel wool to rough the surface then clean with the cleaner. I think white trim makes the wall paint pop out ...
Steel wool works great!
Which do you paint first, the walls or the trim?
I always paint the trim first!
Trim 1st. Correct order: Ceilings Trim & Walls
In the process of purchasing my first house - my wife and I said this was the major thing we wanted to redo - paint the walls & repaint the wooden trim to white. How is this method still holding up? :) Any issues? Thanks for the tips!
This is a process I have done in multiple houses for a lot of years and it holds up well. The most important thing is the sanding in my opinion. Don't skip that step and it works great! I did this room over a year ago and it is holding up well and so is the trim I painted in my living room when I moved in 3 years ago. It gets scuffed and dirty from everyday abuse but other than that, it's good. I have had a lot of people say using oil based paint is better than the latex that I use so I am going to try that for the next room I do and see how that compares! Happy painting to you!
@@AliciaLynnYT ahh, oil based paint over latex, thats a good tip.
Subscribed just because this video helped me a lot.
Thanks, Matt! I'm glad it was helpful to you!
If we wait for men to paint we will die first...good for you...👍🏻
Hahaha and Thanks!
What a ridiculous comment.
Lmao best comment. So true 😆
Planet Life: You must be a man😂
Such a useful tutorial, an really transform a space!
Thanks so much!
I would advise sanding in between each layer of primer and paint; starting from rougher grit to finer grit with each coat. If covering dark colors, 3 coats of primer with 80-120-180 grit, then 2 coats of paint with 220 grit after first coat. That would really work well imo. Thank you for the video :)
Alanca Abyssal I spent 30 mins on google trying to find this info. You summed it up in 1 paragraph. HA THANK YOU
Sounds like a 20 year job 👍
@@21fnasser right! Haha
@@21fnasserI think I just changed my mind. 2 coats of primer, sanding each, then 3 coats of paint, sanding the first two. That’s a lot of trim and cabinets. Yes, 20 yrs.
I'm attempting to paint an older wood trim that I'm not too sure if it's got stain or not but it's your typical wood trim in like every older sort of cheaply made home..dark dark, I hate it, but it doesn't really have any shine to it, thinking that since it's so old, the stain or varnish is just worn off.. so idk, I think I'm going to be sanding it regardless just to make sure cus I don't want to have to do all this prep crap again, jusy clearing out the room and area was a two day process, so this is getting done right the first time so it's the only time,lol. I'm wondering if there's any chance I can get away with not using a primer? Or if there's a cheap primer,idk, I'm already using handy down paint from a friend's remodeling job, and I don't have any money to buy anything new or more of, but I've got a lot of white paint.. I'm mixing it with a little black to try and get it to cover better, but it's srill extremely white, can't tell at all I added black to it, but ide heard it helps the white paint have better coverage. Idk. I'm thinking the primer is kind of a necessary step with covering this dark wood trim,I really wish it wasn't,idk how I'm going ti get a primer, I've asked everyone I know of they have any extra or left overs primer paint and no one has it. Going ti check a little store we have here in my town that's like a donation based household goods hardware thrift store, has all sorts of paints, but I am hoping they have a gallon or even half gallon of a primer for under 5 bucks cus that's really all I'm able ti scrounge up at this moment.
I would definitely recommend using a primer! It is a really important step to get a good end result. That and the sanding are very important steps to not skip if you don't want stain bleeding though your paint when you're finished. It doesn't have to be an expensive one, any you can get your hands on should work! Good luck with your painting project!
Great job! If the wood trim was raw and new with no stain, nothing, would you sand it still and still use primer or would you go straight to paint with primer on fresh bare wood trim? Thank you in advance!
Thanks! No need to sand raw or unfinished wood unless it was rough and needed to be smoothed. I also think you could get away with a paint with primer only if you want to skip the primer too. But I personally still prime it when I paint non stained wood or unfinished wood, just because I think it creates a nice surface for the paint! Thanks for watching!
We just did our bedroom. We used 00 steel wool and a shop vac to prep the wood. We had lots of gaps between the walls and the trim so we had to caulk. We used Bull’s Eye 123 primer and Behr Ultra White Semi Gloss paint.
Exactly what I'm using. Bulls Eye 123 sealer Primer & Behr Ultra Semi Gloss White. Very light sanding on the stained wood, wipe down and caulk. I caulk after priming. Shows area's better that need it. Coming out mint.
Do you need to do primer if you are painting over white? Trying to paint our trim light blue
No, if you are painting over other paint.
Very nice!! Do you think the same process would work for trim, door s that have the wax like coating on it? Like what is found in mobile homes.
I'm not familiar with that type of trim so I couldn't say for sure. You would definitely have to remove any wax like coating before painting though!
A lot of mobile homes have that vinyl covering wood looking finish. Even w/light sanding and proper Sealer Primer it's very hard to properly paint. You can still peel it off the vinyl. Anyways you still have to sand that. Wipe down first with Dawn Dish Detergent in a bucket. Dawn helps a lot breaking down the wax. Then a light sanding. Always use a Sealer Primer.
I like white painted interior trim.
My house has stained interior trim and white painted doors.
But I’m not sure if white painted interior trim will look right on my house.
Or maybe I’m afraid that I can’t produce a professional looking job.
When my house was being built 25 years ago, one guy painted all of the 6 panel interior doors. He used a brush and how he didn’t leave a single brush stroke I’ll never know.
I have heard using oil based paint helps with not leaving brush strokes. I have always used latex myself but I am going to try oil based next time to see if there is a significant difference.
All your stained trim "70's look" painted white will dramatically update your home.
Oh, I hate sanding so much, but yes, it is necessary. Very good tips. Looking good.
Thanks, sanding is the bane of my existence! It feels like every project I do involves it! lol
Do you think I can use a paint with primer in it? to skip a step?
I personally wouldn't because I think the paint with primer doesn't do much as far as the primer goes. In fact, I think the paint I used in this video was a paint with primer but I always use primer first regardless.
Great video! Did you wash off/rinse the Spray 9 after using it?
No. I just sand.
Thank you!@@AliciaLynnYT
Awesome job. I have alot of varnished wood to paint. I was told sand it down with 150 grit sandpaper and pretty much do what you did. What grit do you use
Thank you! If I'm working with a surface that needs a lot of sanding I start with a coarse sanding block 40-80 and then follow up with a medium around 80-120. If you want a super smooth finish, follow up the medium with a 240 or super fine grit. I usually don't care that much about having a super smooth surface when it comes to things like door trim though and usually stop at the medium grit. Someone in the comments recommended using steel wool instead of sanding blocks and I think that is a great idea and am going to try that next time instead of sanding blocks. Thanks for watching and happy painting!
Could you use steel wool instead of a sanding block/sandpaper? I would think that may be easier to get into those groves.
Steel wool makes a great substitute when it comes to sanding that you would normally use a fine grit for. I have used it for that myself. I don't know how well it would work for sanding requiring a coarser grit because I've never tried it. It would be worth looking into though because like you said, it's easier to get into those groves! Great idea, thanks so much for watching!
How long did it take to do that 1 room?
about 2 days
I did all of these steps, but somehow got yellow streaks through my white paint. Rather frustrating to spend so much time prepping, only to have to do it again. Any tips?
I'm sorry to hear that, Ashlie. The only times I have had yellow come through were when I didn't use a primer first and when I was painting a house that had been smoked in. Besides sanding, getting a good primer base before painting is the most important thing you can do to prevent that.
How did you remove the primer & paint from the wall??
I didn't remove it, I painted over it when I did the walls a new color.
They sell paint with primer...you probably could have save time, but it did come out very nice👍
I usually buy paint with primer and did for this project too. I don't think it works well enough to skip the primer step though, especially when it comes to painting stained wood trim like this. I like having that additional primer though in the paint! Thanks for watching and have a great day!😊
@@AliciaLynnYT ok then that's what I'll do too...I've got a big project ahead of me....like my whole house has wood stained trim, including crown molding😣and am taking your advice👍❤️ty
@@ladylilo6044 I totally understand! My whole house had the 80's Oak trim throughout and I've been slowly repainting all of it room by room, the last couple of years. I've got one bedroom and two bathrooms left to do. It is a slow process but looks so good when it's done! Thanks again for watching and good luck with your painting! 🙂
We are about to paint our wood trim black should I still sand it down?
Hi Larry, I would still sand if I was you. The sanding is not just to prevent bleed through which wouldn't necessarily be a problem with black paint, but it more importantly helps the paint to adhere to the surface and not peel or flake off later. Thanks for watching and happy painting!
I've gotta go ahead with the white vinager amd water
It works well and is a lot cheaper option!
Would oven degreaser work the same ? 😅
That's a big negative🤣
If you primed it with two coats, then why 3 coats of paint afterwards?
That's how many coats it took to cover the wood completely or keep it from showing through the white paint.
@@AliciaLynnYT I see! Thank You 😊
No problem!
Great job! I have a lot of trim to do. Have you ever tried a deglosser?
Yes, on my kitchen cabinets. Worked pretty well!
@@AliciaLynnYT❤
Thank you! We are renovating our place with just paint, right now. Yellow-orange oak is everywhere. 🤢
Go Cougs!!
Same with this house, yellow orange oak everywhere on three floors and I have painted almost all of it because I hated it! Lol Go Cougs! WSU is my Alma mater so I still wear WSU stuff even though I live on the other side of the country now. 😁Thanks for watching and happy painting!
@@AliciaLynnYT We live in Moscow, but have lived in Portland, Oregon and in Tennessee and always had WSU gear when going out.
@@mrsgregorydmorris5235 I always liked Moscow, my hubby lived in Troy when he was going to U of I and I spent a lot of time in Moscow. I lived in WA my whole life before moving to VA 3 years ago so it was WSU stuff everywhere and now I never see WSU anything here which feels strange but of course makes sense. I live in the land of Virginia Tech now!
I guess sanding is the least favorite part for everyone; I can't blame you, because I hate it too. However, I am a perfectionist, so I feel the need to sand very well and boy is it time consuming and messy. The hard part for me is to start; once I start, there is no stopping me 😂
Sanding is definitely not fun. I should probably do more than I do and start with coarse and work through to fine but I don't. At least not with things like trim. When I do things like my kitchen cabinets it is a different story and I am much more thorough.🙂 And I am the same way with finding it hard to start but once I do, I hate to stop till I'm done! Thanks so much for watching and have a great weekend! 😊
@@AliciaLynnYT Thank you for your reply; I wish you a good weekend, too :) I can credit nothing else than my OCD for many things that I am able to do, so no worries 😂
Recently used a Kilz primer and was very unimpressed, even after 2 coats on a light color. There must be a better product out there... ??
I have heard Zinsser primer is good but I have always just used different Kilz primers and they have worked fine for me. The purpose is just to help seal and prep the surface for paint, not necessarily to cover completely or look good.
@@AliciaLynnYT Alicia, then why not skip the primer and just put on another coat of paint? I found out that Kilz has multiple primer products; I may have to try another of theirs but I won't use their basic primer again. It should have done a better job.
@@TruthHasSpoken Because paint and primer are different. Primer is a preparatory coating that acts as a sealant on the wood, preventing things like the stain from bleeding through to the surface. A primer also allows the paint to adhere better to the surface. You could just use more coats of paint but I don't think the long term results will be as good. Kilz does have multiple products and maybe you would have better luck with another one. Like I said, I'm not a professional painter, this is just how I do it and what has worked for me! I hope you find something that works for you.
@@AliciaLynnYT apologize as I wasn't clear; my painting involved painting an existing wall... the trim staying the same color (white).
@@TruthHasSpoken In that case you should be fine to not use primer first and go right to paint!
Do you put tape over your newly painted trim before painting the walls, or do you just carefully cut in as close to the trim as possible with a precision angled brush?
Thanks for the vid. B.T.W it taught me a lot for how to prepare the wooden trim for painting my rental property to keep me occupied while in covid lockdown.
I'm off to do some sanding in readiness for the primer now.......
I don't use tape, just a nice angled brush to cut in. I go out of my way to avoid using tape for any of my painting though. I think I hate tapeing off things more than I hate sanding! Lol I'm glad this was helpful to you, thanks for watching and happy painting!
Turned out really well,,
Is it true that if you use latex paint on doors & jambs that the doors will stick versus oil based is not suppose to?
I don't have a lot of experience with oil based paint myself because I don't like the extra work involved in clean up and the fact that you can't paint over oil based with anything other than more oil based paint. I think professional painters do use it more than they do latex though. I just don't personally care for it and have used latex for decades with great results! I haven't personally had big sticking issues with door jambs but I know that can happen. As long as you prep correctly with cleaning and sanding, latex works great! If you want to do a really good prep job, start with a coarse sand paper and work through to a fine grit to give you the best surface for painting. And of course, give the wood a good cleaning to remove any debris. Thanks so much for watching and I hope I answered your question!
@@AliciaLynnYT You can use latex over oil-based just not oil-based over latex.Oil base paint produces a very hard surface and goes on without leaving brush marks the one downside is that white will turn yellow in rooms that stay dark most of the time.I have had good luck with benjamin moore advance paint which is a water clean up.
@@thomassmith8156 Thanks for the info on oil based paint. It is not something that I personally use or know much about because I am so comfortable with latex after using it for over 20 years. I knew you could paint one over the other but forgot which one it was! I can see how using a paint that produces a hard surface would be a benefit! That is great the Benjamin moore is water clean up too. I might have to check into that. Thanks for watching! 😊
You doing a good job but you will find it much easier to use a course steel wool which is normally available from your hardware store, just make sure you wipe all the wool fragments that you certainly do not want on your finish as they can create small little rust spots, stainless steel wool may be safer if you want. A paint company tech once told me to just use a course 3M kitchen scourer, their usually green and nylon, you only have to cause scratching on the old surface to create a key for the new paint or varnish.
Thanks for letting me know about the coarse steel wool! I have only ever seen or used fine steel wool for finish sanding or very light sanding and didn't know they had coarse. I will be on the lookout for it now that I know what to look for. Thanks again!
Hello You use oil ir water base primer???
Water base primer and paint!
Thanks
How did the paint dry? I was looking for tutorials on how to paint trim streak free. The close up shot had a lot of streaks. Is it possible to paint trim without streaks??
It drys with some streaks. Oil based paint tends to not streak as much as the latex. Also a foam applicator would leave less streaks than a brush but the brush is a whole lot easier to use!
There are also self-leveling trim paints specifically for this job. (I highly recommend this for a professional finish). I would suggest a really good 2 - 2.5 inch angle brush (Purdy), and an excellent trim paint like Sherwin Williams "Emerald Urethane Trim Enamel". It is NOT an oil paint, which makes the process much easier and cleaner. It isn't inexpensive, but you hope to do this once and do it right, right? As with most things you get what you pay for. Lightly sand between primer coats and paint coats, it will look incredible and professional. Also, don't load your brush with paint or primer. You want coverage, but it's better to build that with even coats. In this instance, less is more, and being sure you draw your paint out evenly across the wood surface (without "thick areas) will decrease brush strokes as well. With a very light hand, lightly sand between primer coats and pain coats. You're objective is just to knock down and small ridges or brushing imperfections. It's quite quick, but really makes a difference. Hope that helps. Happy painting! BTW, I am NOT knocking ANY of ALICIALYNN'S process, at all! Just adding a few tips that you may find helpful!
What if you don’t have stain on tour trim and it’s just wood
I would still do the same process but you won't need as many paint coats probably.
Trim first and use STIX its a primer that is white in color and averything sticks like cement …wallpaper ect…afterwoods..u still need to wallpaper glue bue stix is pemo stiff
I just had a faboo idea. Come home and help me paint the Taj Mahal! Happy Valentine's day to the top B!

I am a pro at this point! lol Happy Valentine's day, bottom B!
Great video. Don't waste any more time cleaning anything,,,,,,, that your just going to sand🤔 That blew my mind, lol. But l swear, great video, great job. You'll save so much time⏳
Edit: And try a 4 inch, roller too, so much time will be saved👍
Cleaning or degreasing the wood before you sand it removes a lot of the gunk and grime from it that would otherwise gum up your sander and make it a lot more difficult to effectively sand the surface. I've found from doing it both ways that it actually saves me time and sanding blocks, to clean the surface first. And I do much better and faster with a brush when it comes to painting trim like this since it isn't a flat surface. That's just my preference though and I am by no means a professional, this is just what works best and yields the best results for me! Thanks for watching, William!
Hey Alicia, thanks for responding in the manner you did and so l can see it from your perspective. That was awesome 😊
@@williameggers2108 No problem, William!
How long would u say it takes you from start to finish for that size frame? Thx
I don't know specifically for that size frame because I'm usually doing the trim in an entire room all at once. It it is very time consuming! Especially with all the coats I use. I'd say a good 1-2 hours probably for that frame alone. Thats for the painting alone Prep is more. Thanks for watching!
@@AliciaLynnYT thx
@@malawigold747 You're welcome
buy or use a fan, you can coat even and no runs..use ceiling fan and other air mover. Doors and trim dont take much paint, it has to dry to color.
Correct, it does have to dry to color and I let my coats dry completely before applying more. Dark wood takes several coats to fully cover.
Wonderful video dear friend.thank you for sharing
Thanks!
Very solid video...why did you do 3 instead of 2 coats of white paint?
Thanks! I could still see the wood through the paint on 2 coats so I hit it again with a third to have complete coverage!
@@AliciaLynnYT oh makes sense... I'm going to try Benjamin Moore regal select. Hopefully two coats will work since its paint and primer combo.
@@TheTerminator1919 That's a good paint you're using, I hope it works out for you!
@@AliciaLynnYT I'll be sure to report back thanks again for your video
@@TheTerminator1919 You're welcome!
Great tutorial...thank you!!!👍

I'll check out your channel!
That turned out beautifully!! Thanks for sharing!! All of mine are raw cedar wood...I don’t think I’ll be able to change them without just ripping them out and putting in new ones. Yours look gorgeous!!
Well, raw cedar is beautiful so even with my love of white trim, I wouldn't want to change that!😊 The 80's stained oak I have going on, is another story! lol Thanks so much!
Do you have to apply a primer first or can you get a paint that has primer in it?
I would definitely apply a coat of primer. It gets the surface ready for the paint. I actually do two coats just to be safe but you probably don't need to. Most paints have the primer in them now but I've found it doesn't work well without an actual primer first. Primer itself is pretty cheap compared to the paint so it's definitely worth it! Thanks for watching!
Do you prep? Do you wash the doors? Do you sand the doors? What paint is that?
Covered all of the above in the video! Unless you are talking about actual doors and not the door frame.
@@AliciaLynnYT This comment was actually for another video. My bad for having so many tabs open on my browser. Thanks though! This video was helpful!
@@turizzmo I hear you on having too many tabs open!
You should have used a degreaser after sanding to clean the trim and let dry before painting.
I used one before sanding
Nice floors, lady
Awesome video! (except the WAZZU shirt lol)
Thank you Mike! My husband would agree with you on the shirt! Lol
Emerald urethane trim paint from SW is the best .
Why spray 9 it prior to sanding? Shouldn’t you do that after sanding, prior to paint?
The purpose is to degrease the surface, making it easier to sand. No need to degrease after sanding. Thanks for watching.
AliciaLynn thanks for the reply! I’m using your video as we speak. Lol
@@mikej7650 You're welcome and happy painting!
I thought we could use a primer without sanding.
If you want good results, you need to sand first. People that tell you that you don't need to sand first probably have their paint peel off within 6 months.
We are doing this in our house and it's a long process. It is very much worth it because it looks so much better! I have been using a deglosser, so I don't have to sand. I started with sanding and it was messy. A friend told me she did her house without sanding and only using a deglosser.
Thanks for the tip, I appreciate it! 😃 I have also heard that the half vinegar half water that I have used in the past, is pretty much a natural deglosser. I have just always been too afraid to skip the step of sanding, as much as i hate it! Do you have a particular brand of deglosser that you use? I might look into it for the next time because I still have more trim to paint! Thanks again and thanks for your support!
It's Klean Strip Easy Liquid Sand Deglosser. My husband who is handy around the house has been very impressed with it. Plus, we have a really good primer that stuck so well to the wood after deglossing. We even tried scratching it and it still stuck.
@@comfortofmyhome46 Thanks for letting me know!
Comfort of My Home what was the primer called you used?
Why do we use primer on wood? What happens if we don't use it
The primer acts to prepare the surface for the paint. It helps the paint to adhere better and helps to prevent bleed through.
Use liquid sandpaper
What grit of sand paper did you use?
If I'm working with a surface that needs a lot of sanding I start with a coarse sanding block 40-80 and then follow up with a medium around 80-120. If you want a super smooth finish, follow up the medium with a 240 or super fine grit. I usually just use the medium alone and call it good!😉
Der kha video f🎽🎿⛷🏌️♂️🏒🏏🎯🏸🏓🏓🏀🏀⚾️⚾️⚽️⚽️🏀🏏🥋🎽
Watch how many coats you put on cuz it adds thickness to the surface. Doing doors and jambs almost always changes how door closes.... 😁
That is a good point, Mike!
How "tall" are the walls?
They are 8 feet tall.
Can you use a paint with primer?
If you mean to skip the step of primer, I wouldn't. In my opinion, paint with primer isn't really any better than regular paint. Most paint companies are going to the whole paint with primer thing but I've never noticed they work any different or that they take the place of using an actual primer. In fact, the white paint I used in this video to go over the primer was a paint with primer. I have been really loving Valspar paint and I think most of them are paint with primer but I still always use a primer in this application! I hope that answered your question!
Thanks I'll suck it up and get the primer lol
@@jenniferjames9428 Even though it sucks to have to do the extra work and get the extra paint, it's worth it in the end!
I know. I just painted all my baseboards in my bedroom white. They were painted some awful color. My closet doors i painted white a while ago. But never the door frame. Well now with the white base boards it needs to be finished
salvage wood stained wood if ever possible. Use gel stain to darken but never paint over.
It's late 80's wood trim, not antique that you would want to salvage. Nothing wrong with painting over it. Especially when you want white trim, not stained trim.

Thanks for watching!
Two coats of primer is unnecessary. One coat of primer is sufficient. Also, you need to mention to the viewers the sheen of the trim paint used, which I assume you used semi-gloss paint (very important to mention).
I like to use two coats of primer when I am painting stained wood, unnecessary or not, in your opinion. Thanks for the tip but I will continue to do so, as I have had wonderful results doing it as I showed. I mentioned in the beginning of the video that I am NOT a professional and this is just how I do it. Do what works for you. And if you watched the video, you would have seen that I did in fact mention the trim paint I used, including the sheen. In fact, I showed the actual paint. I guess you missed that. Thanks for watching though and have a wonderful day!😃
You can't always use whatever primer you want? Definitely use oil base primer. Less coats of paint
You can absolutely use whatever type of primer you want, including oil base. I don't personally care for oil base paints in general because they are much more difficult to clean up after than latex and you can only paint over them with more oil base paint. Just my personal preference! Use whatever you prefer and works best for you! Thanks for watching and have a great day!
You don’t have to use a oil base. Maybe 20 years ago, but with today’s primer you definitely can.
I wouldn’t put a cheap primer on though, Zinnser, Kilz ,SW, BM, PPG all have excellent primers.
It looks so great!! I was wondering if maybe your husband could hold the vacuum close to you while you sand 😂. Probably would take a lot of electricity though. The white gives it a nice pop! Looking forward to seeing more of your progress here!
The funny thing is we have actually done something similar with a shop vacuum when we were cutting out sections of the sub floor in our kitchen! 😂😆My hubby used the saw and I went along side him with the shop vac to catch some of the saw dust. Renovations are messy! Thanks for stopping by!💛
@@AliciaLynnYT that's exactly what we've done too,lol, I actually do that with almost any sanding jobs we do inside, though I've learned you really still need the air release side of shop vac going out the window to vent it outwards cus some reason our shop bags aren't that great and the dust it pushed back out is not good.
Go COUGS!

Looks like cheap pvc molding now...
😂🤣😂
Why did you ruin that wood omg? It can never be realistically undone and it's something people started doing because it's cheap and easy not good looking.
😂🤣😂🤣
I hate the wooden trimming 😭
So ugly
Shameful to paint real wood sigh, no craftsmanship anymore :(
Shameful is a harsh word don't you think...maybe no appreciation would be more appropriate? Btw, since you find it so shameful, why are you watching a video about painting over wood???? 😂🤣😂
I don’t think it’s shameful to paint real wood. To me, however, if it turns out that I don’t like the look of white painted interior trim then it’s nearly impossible to go back to stained!
I hear what you are saying and I wrestle with it. I have beautiful Amish made honey oak trim in my 11 year old home. But I don’t like it because🤷🤷🤷🤷

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😂
awful..never paint real wood. tacky and distastful. Paint has a cheap ugly look jmo
It's 1980's red oak...it's not like it's antique wood or something like African Mahogany. I think it looks great!
Too bad the paint is going to start to peel in less than a year. You have to sand the trim. Please don’t follow this lady’s instructions.
🤣😄😂 Did you watch any of the video before commenting, Andrew?? I clearly sanded the trim first. Not sanding would be silly. Oh, and no worries, my trim holds up for years this way, no peeling.😊 Thanks for the laugh! 👍
