I'm getting a tad to old to relish crawling around on the floor. Heck, even
getting half way down there is getting to be a pain!! So I'm looking for
ways to make skirting board painting as quick easy as possible. In
particular, I'd like NOT to have to remove or roll back the carpet.

Please let me know what you think; I am thinking of masking off the carpet
somehow and then spray-paint the skirts. Has anyone got an easy method of
masking out a carpet? I suppose a 4ft piece of 6" skirting board with
handle attached mught be a way...

The state of the skirting boards is quite good; they have only been painted
once previously. After wiping them over with wet sponge, they look almost
presentable, except that the once-white gloss has turned to yucky cream.
I'd like to repaint them (spray perhaps) with some kind of non-yellowing
white - (gloss, matt or eggsshell). Any suggestions on an inexpensive
opaque acrylic white spray-can paint?

TIA
