Painting the Door Jambs in a Living Room

Video Transcript

Hello my name is Grady Johnson and I'm a professional painter and today I represent expertvillage.com. Okay, now we are ready to paint the door jams, we painted all the doors and now we are going to the jams. Now with the jams just like with the doors we only want to paint the part that is facing the living room where we are working. Now this means we are going to paint it all the way up to the door stop. Now the door will stop on this little stop right here and it is going to stop on this side. So we are going to paint that up to here all the way around and bring it on down cause what we want to do is we want to start on these outside edges. Now remember with this, this is the hardest part so get the edges paint all this then the rest is all okay. I always get this part done absolutely first. The key to this if you got to pull the line pull it in to the jam more not on the wall cause if it gets up on a wall that is when it mess up. This is why we like to use a smaller brush and even if you have a big brush just use the tips. Once you get this done the rest of it is kind of fairly easy. (painting edges on the door) The door jams are a little easier then doing base boards or not as dirty but remember when you get down there near the floor there would be some dirt that you might pick up so be sure to clean that off really good.
