To paint trim with carpet laid, first use a drop cloth and painter’s tape for protection. Tuck the carpet under the trim with a putty knife to avoid paint stains. Use a painter’s tray or metal sheet to guide your brush. This technique reduces the chance of getting paint on your carpet.
Next, apply a primer if the trim has stains or an uneven color. Once the primer dries, apply the first coat of paint using smooth, steady strokes. Be sure to paint away from the carpet to avoid smudging. After the first coat dries, assess if a second coat is necessary for an even finish.
During the process, remain patient. Allow paint to dry completely between coats for optimal results. Once the final coat is dry, gently peel away the painter’s tape at a 45-degree angle. This will help maintain clean lines on the trim without damaging the carpet.
With these tips, you can achieve professional-looking trim paint while keeping your carpet intact. After this, we will discuss how to choose the right paint type for the best durability and appearance.
