Out of all the outside plastic arts jobs, plastic arts the outlying trim is one of the most difficult. You will need to mask the trim to prevent paint from ending up in places you don't want. However it can also be very satisfying to see your house stand out and looking great.

Preparation

As with other drawing jobs, preparation is a must if you want an excellent finish. When art trim you'll also need to mask to keep paint from getting on the walls. If for instance you are portraiture the external wall first you can end up getting unwanted paint on your trim which could cause difficulties when portraiture over it. The question is, do you mask the glass before art or do you wipe or scrape the unwanted paint off later? If you are looking for a huge finish and don't want to damage the glass, then masking is the option to choose.

Conditions

Dry Surface - Like other outlying paint jobs, make sure that the surface is dry. Although you may use paint which is the same colour, they might be out of ones element shades.

Windows can be fairly arduous behind the scenes you can get paint on the glass. It's not so important for massive wall areas the sun will dry the area quickly. This is especially true with trim. Also, if you start the job a bit later in the day you'll find that the sunup dew has evaporated. However sections of trim have more angles that can trap moisture.

Moisture - If it has been raining, wait a couple of days before you start work. The problem is that paint dries much slower in the cold than it does when it's warm. Also make sure you've finished working by the evening behind the scenes evening moistness can interfere with your goodness work.

Temperature - Moisture isn't your only consideration either, temperature is important too. If the temperature is too high the paint will dry too quickly potentially cause blistering.

Technique

Like other paint jobs, it's always service practice to start from the top down. Temperatures much below 50F/10C can even cause the paint to wrinkle.

In saying that however, high temperatures have its problems too.

For the first few strokes work your brush perpendicular to the grain. After you have dipped your brush into the paint, wipe the brush against the rim to remove any excess. After that you should make brush stokes that work with the grain.

Make sure that the bulk of brush you use is appropriate for the volume of area you are working. This will help get the paint into the groves of the wood. For instance, on a six inch area of trim using a tetragonal inch wide roller is ideal. For larger areas you can use a larger brush whilst on smaller more intricate areas use a smaller brush.

If you have a thick area of trim to paint you can use a roller. For larger areas you can use a larger brush whilst on smaller more intricate areas use a smaller brush.

If you have a thick area of trim to paint you can use a roller....'
