Painting trims and doors with stained -varnished surface

Usually it takes 3 coats (1 coat of primer and two coats of paint) to cover stained-varnished surfaces.

Step1 Tape the carpet along the baseboard. Push the tape as close to the bottom of the baseboard as possible 

Step2 Sand the sheen of the baseboard and doors, using 150 grit sandpaper or sponge and vacuum clean after all surfaces are sanded

Step3 Put one coat of primer (I like Stix) on the stained-varnished baseboards and doors

Step4 Caulk top of the baseboard and sides of the door trims if it is needed.

Step5 Put one coat of the paint on the baseboards and doors and after it is completely dry, put second coat on all surfaces

Step 6 Take off the tape from the carpet. Use scraper to separate tape from the baseboard

Finally trims and doors are done! Ceiling is painted as well. Tomorrow I will use easy tape and start walls by Painting it Easy!☺
