Painting a Door (While
Attached)
Exterior doors are heavy and can be awkward to move –
you'll usually find it easier to paint them in place
instead of trying to take them off their hinges...
Painting a Door
(Unattached)
Painting a door by putting it flat on a pair of sawhorses
is the best way to prevent drips and runs. You can paint
in a garage or other area that will keep odors from
lingering inside your house...
Painting Trim
Painting trim is one of the many ways you can liven up
interiors or exteriors. Use an accent color that
complements the main colors of your wall and ceiling
surfaces, or paint your trim white to embolden and
emphasize the other colors...
Painting Window Frames

You don't
have to take a flat door off its hinges, but removing the
doorknob and latch bolt makes the job a whole lot faster
and neater. After the hardware is off, you can brush or
roll the door, just be sure to catch any runs and drips.
Finish the edge around the hinges with a small brush.
