Painting Your Crown Moulding

How to paint crown moulding

synopsis by: Laura D.

The narrator does an excellent job showing how painting your crown moulding can be a very upbeat and exciting experience. It is very economical to do this task yourself as it will cost a few hundred dollars, depending on the size of your room, to hire someone.

The tools that you will need for this project are: Paint Brush, two inches and paint, of course. Make sure to ask someone at your local store what type of paint is recommended for your house or condo. You may want to use a primer as well, but that depends if on how many coats of paint are already on your crown moulding. The narrator recommends buying a China Bristle brush and says to not use a cheap brush.

Now to get started painting, use a small plastic bucket so you do not spill any paint. You will also want to make sure to have a roller. Pour pain into your bucket about one or two inches. Take your brush and dip it into the paint, and wipe the edges so no paint falls off. You will want to start in the middle of the crown moulding and glide your brush from left to right. The narrator recommends leaving on side wetter on the brush than the other. It is pertinent to hold the brush like you are holding a fork, and make sure it is facing the moulding horizontally. If you paint this way, then you will not get paint on the part of the wall where there is no crown moulding.

Make sure to use long strokes when painting. If you want to cut into the wall where there is no crown moulding, then another day will be added to your weekend! Instead of rushing through this process, stay disciplined and take your time. It is easier to do this in one process rather than two. One coat of paint is fine. If you use two coats of paint, it might look blotchy in some places. After, you complete these steps, you should be done in a few hours. Good luck!
