2Apply Painter's Tape
Use FrogTape® Multi-Surface Painter's Tape to protect the surfaces that are adjacent to the trim. Press firmly with your finger or a tool to seal the edges.
Pro Tip: FrogTape® Delicate Surface Painter's Tape is perfect for freshly painted walls like mine. Otherwise, use FrogTape® Multi-Surface.

3Paint the Trim
Stir the paint thoroughly before starting. Using a paint brush, paint the trim with steady, even strokes. Allow the first coat to dry completely and apply a second coat if needed.
Pro Tip: Use a primer first to achieve a more even finish and better coverage.
