How to Prep Trim Before Painting

[@charlesviner1565]

Thanks for the video 👍

[@LisaJones-vl5dd]

I followed these steps, but even the water based primer started to pull some paint off. Do I have oil based underneath that a latex coat is not adhering to? What can I do?

[@ohyehyeh]

I made this mistake myself... Needs to be sanded / scuffed no matter what you use, and use an enamel undercoat and don't get a cheap undercoat like I did. Second time it worked for me by sanding everywhere and using a quality enamel undercoat.

this guy is dope 👍

What grit is most important

[@williamprezioso2742]

I imagine that was oil-based primer since you were using a horse hair brush which are usually used strictly for oil based products

[@chrisjudge31]

Thanks perhaps. Indicate sandpaper grit.

[@oneeyednewt]

Since it's just roughing up the surface, it's likely 120 on the low end and 220 on the high end. That's usually what sanding sponges come in.

Where is the rest of the video? He said that the presence of the gloss needs to be addressed. Is it addressed by sanding? Why didn't he prepare the top?

[@theresacasey9884]

I believe he did reply with light sanding

[@theresacasey9884]

And with universal primer, also fill in hole’s

[@zachnuketown]

Because that’s common sense thing bud.

[@williamprezioso2742]

Sanding or a bonding primer

Astonishingly low video quality. Filmed with a flip-phone maybe?

We used an iPhone actually 😅

[@pdannysan13]

It was ages ago. Yet it holds up. The phones might have changed but the trim has not

I appreciate your video but in my opinion I still think that outer molding was not smooth enough (i know its old and painted over many times but why not palm sand it to smooth it more) i found this video while searching for how to smooth and sand an even messier trim with caulking bits and divets etc) I guess i am too OCD about painting over old drips and scrapes

@@Sonny_Read this looked like a v "light touch" painting job. Useful all the same thanks to creator.
