Painting Wood Trim (Interior House Painting Tips) 

FINALLY A GOOD PAINTER WHO PAINTS RIGHT!!!!!! HOW MUCH TO HIRE YOU BROTHER!?!?!?

I love the spackle shortcut. Very neat and informative

I love this kind of attention to detail, it makes all the difference in the finished job..

I agree with most of the comments here - quite a comprehensive yet straight to the point demo - the Bach music doesn't bother me the slightest). I love the tip on the ghost ball of Sparkle - in fact, it can probably be squeeze onto the holes directly and use a putty knife to scrape off the excess Sparkle, etc. Fast and less mess! Such a great video - many thanks and regards!

Love how you took your time to explain and show things slowly. Thanks

Wow. Most comprehensive wood window trim painting of all time. Thanks a lot!

having reviewed several videos on how to paint trim and other parts of the room, this is clearly the best and most complete instruction I've seen. Well done.

I wish you would come paint my trim! I am in Alabama...this is by far, the most informative trim painting video on the web. Very nice job! I am a DIYer and my favorite tip was putting the spackle in the "Ghost" ball...hahaha. So much cleaner then sticking your finger in the pail each time. Well, my brush is drying because I am so happy to find this video and am taking a break. Don't forget...I live in Alabama and will be waiting for ya to come and do the rest of my house. We are replacing all the trim. Been at it for a while now and really need it done!!! Thanks and I will be waiting!!!! Lololol

Thank you so much for these precise, detailed steps, John! We just got new windows and now I need to seal and paint the trim. Your video and website helped ease my anxiety over tackling the job and gave me confidence when I bought my supplies at the hardware store. Much appreciated!

Excellent demonstration with detailed instructions. I'm off to watch more of your work!

These videos are super fun!!! Love watching them haha

Thank you! I live in an old farm house that wasn't fixed up very well. I'll slowly be fixing stuff, starting with the windows. It's amazing what a good window will do to an old house :) (and I loved the Bach Invention)

I can tell your really skilled with your caulk.

Another great video, I hope my painting looks as good when its done, thanks John.

Beauty! Thanks for that great vid I've learnt more than I thought I could about painting!

Love this so much ! The precision , the method 😁💜 and the Bach 🤣

John Your videos are the most helpful ones I've found. I just wish I would have found them before I started. 😅 Thanks for putting these together!

THANKS about the Start Marks, you explained that Very well.

Great commentary and notes, thanks!

thank you for the tips. Youre great man, keep up the good work.

Thanks John, nice video

Love the video thank you for all the knowledge brother...

Fantastic caulk job!

Thanks. Very informative video.

Very informative! Thank you

I watched this video and it's awesome! This video answered so many of my questions. I do have one more question, I don't like the look of gloss or semi gloss, could I use an egg shell on the window trim?

nice, thanks a lot for sharing.

Thank you John :)

Thanks John. Nice video.

Solid advice in this video. I've heard window glaze shrinks less than spackle.

thank you so much, my windows were installed and primed so I just need to paint them, MIne are not flat like yours they have a moulding so do I paint the same long strokes? Do I need blue tape as opposed to other tapes? Just want to do it right first time Thanks

好視頻，你的教學跟其他人不一樣，很仔細，謝謝。

Good video

You're an excellent teacher and communicator and the written text and illustrations are very helpful. I'm curious as to what type of caulking you used. Perhaps you can leave a reply. Thanks.

wow this guy is the real deal.

Thank you

Info on painting oak that has already been stained & varnished? Type specific best primer to use. Your view of deglossers instead of sanding? Thank u in advance for your response.

Dude, music is fine. Great job. NYC

I forgot to ask I have crown moulding in one room and the house must have shifted a bit so there is a fine line between the ceiling and the moulding how do I fill it in without getting the spackle on the walls?

Is it okay to put a bit of water in acrylic paint to give myself more time ?

Thanks, John. I'm redecorating my bedroom and had Two windows to paint. This video has really helped. If you have time here's a question for you. All the pros emphasise the importance of high quality brushes which you justr keep cleaning. But for occasional decorators like me (I do it when years pass and I have forgotten what a lot of work it was the last time) I feel that cheaper brushes that can be thrown away after the project may be a better idea. Today I painted one window with a previously used higher quality brush whch I'd cleaned a few times. It was quite stiff and brush strokes were a bit strong. On the second window I used the same size brush but a new cheap brush. I found this easier to use and it was more flexible, and I think left a slightly better finish. There was virtually no bristle loss (only one came out). What's your take on this? BTW thanks for the demo of laying off. Really useful. All best from London. Myles

Do you need to apply a primer or undercoat to a previously painted trim surface. Is sanding enough? The colour I want to use is darker than the trim paint that already exists

Hi, can I used roller to paint the trip?

One misteak never let paint dry on tape and two for best looking finish apply another sanding 220 grit over primer before final coat..good job tho..

Really, really helpful, thanks.

The window trim is coming to me already primed and I will be able to paint them before they put the windows in. I would like to know hwat kind of paint I should buy to paint the wood trim. I am painting them white, but have now idea what brand is the best.

Do you ever caulk the joint between the molding and window? And touching up the wall after caulking do you just free hand that?

Great Video Again. How long do you allow the spackle to dry? I was reading a tub of spackle and it said at least 7 to 14 days, Never heard such a thing. Also it called for an oil base primer if using a latex paint. Cannot imagine little dabs of primer for all the spackle holes. Why not just use a paintable silicone for spackle that is paintable in 30 minutes? I figure there has to be a good reason no one does, I just don't know what it is. BTW the spackle ghost idea worked fantasticly for us, thank you. Thanks

Nice, exactly how most pro painters would do it I think. Correct sequence too.

What kind of paint is it best to use to paint wood trim?

Never apologize for Bach!

You should really prime Bairwood before you put caulking on it because the Bairwood will suck all the moisture out of the caulking and it well then start cracking just a suggestion thank you

have you paid the tape factory to use as much tape and expensive for the customer

Caulk would be a lot easier to fill the holes and leave a clean finish look 👍🏾

Holy shit you might as well of sprayed with the amount of prep you did

I made it with woodprix instructions !

bach much better than chesy music..

u caulk bare wood ? shouldn't u prime first

After watching several videos on painting. I think I'll hire someone to do it. Painting is my least favorite thing to do.

why would u piss about with tapping all that up just paint it free hand u yanks use tape for everything. U do all your priming first before u fill any painter worth there salt knows that as when u put a coat of primer on it fills some gaps and u can see much easier what needs filled
