Clean and degloss
Glossy or contaminated surfaces can resist adhesion. Cleaning and mechanical preparation are often part of the process.
Prime for the substrate
A compatible bonding or stain-blocking primer may be needed depending on the wood, old finish and desired color.
Expect detail work
Profiles, corners, caulk lines and adjacent flooring or walls make trim painting more labor-intensive than broad wall surfaces.
