Interior trim painting HELP - Contractor Talk - Professional Construction and Remodeling Forum

Well I just want the ultra pro way to do it.
I have a lot of interior trim and doors to paint.

I normally brush it out, but i want to spray this time.

I am just wandering how you all suggest going about this. I gave up on my hvlp gun, so I will use my airless, with a fine finish tip.

Can you please recommend a tip size, paint brand "white satin", thinning method, etc.

I bought some penitrol? to help thin.

Also the doors are smooth panel masonites.

This high maintenance client

.
Thanks TD

If your trade is GC, how come you aren't hiring a painter to do it? You really want to learn how to do something on a job for a "high maintenance client?"

if you want something done right...

I am the best painter I know, I have even painted a few cars
I even have a sata mini jet.

Now I want to paint the trim only, why is that a problem?
Can you guys just get me up to date.

I am not a full time painter, or I would already know this.

I could ask my 2 painters but, i dont think they use computers

so they would have a smaller knowledge base.

Also by asking here I get many choices, since most of you wont agree with each other.

I have lowes, Hd, SW, and frazee close by.
So please let me know what is the best waterbase paint to do this job with.
Also if I should thin or not.

Thanks everyone.

I went with a FF tip on my airless, really works well.
