Re: Re-paint Steps...How Do You Other Pros Do It?
If you refer back to your initial response, you said that you painted the base in 12 minutes. You stated later in said response that you 3 coated the base.
I used my powers of deduction and figured that you 3 coated the base because you wrote that you did. Pimp, I can read just fine. You do, however, struggle to express yourself through the written word. Cap, you have your way and you make good time at it. I have my way and also make good time at it. ps. In this equation, would the primma donna be the one who masks his base off when possible, or the one who brags about freehanding it? |

Re: Re-paint Steps...How Do You Other Pros Do It?
I never realized painters were so feisty! I just put in 500 lf crown molding and other trim upgrades in a 2200 sq. ft. home. The painter they hired is apparently "top drawer". He started prep work, just as we were finishing up. He sanded every inch of all the walls with a 5" palm sander. I was impressed how smooth the walls came out. We usually just use a pole sander. But his way produced a superior job. Oh, and he doesn't tape anything, his cut work was flawless, and did the baseboards last. As a side bar, he uses Sico paint, seems real good.

"To tape or not to tape - that is the question."
