Wow, Love has got somebody a little dizzy. I would lightly sand the trim then prime then too. A water base primer that I use is Zinszer 123. Then paint with a water base acrylic. Gloss maybe too shinny, but some like it. But Semi Gloss is a good option.


Cleaning. dust off the sanding dust.


You take a risk if you don't sand and prime, that the new paint will not stick.What kind of paint should I use to paint my wood trims? What should I use to clean the trims prior to painting?
