Hi,


Now, I am faced with what seems to be a very large task of actually
painting
all of the window frames and jambs. There are a lot of them (40+). The
walls and floors are finished , so I can't make a mess. And, I need the
finished painting to be high quality, i.e., smooth, free of brush or
rollermarks, etc.

It seems to me that my best approach would be to mask off each window and
door - masking a foot or so of the wall around each unit. Then, with the
right spray equipment, I might be able to spray each unit fairly rapidly.
My concern is overspray - I can't mess up the paint on surrounding walls,
floors, or ceilings.

Been there and done that many times.

1. BUY top quality paint. I suggest an Alkyd oil based enamel.
2. USE a top quality brush. Suggest something like a Purdy brand brush.
3. Don't mask the glass. Paint and then the next day scrape off with a
sharp single edge razor blade. Test on a small section first. I NEVER mask
off the glass
