Painting Trim

Guest: Irwin Industrial Tool Company dba SHUR-LINE

Does Your Trim Have You Feeling Framed?

Regardless Of The Color You Choose For The Walls, Architectural Details Can Make Or Break The Look Of Your Space. Nothing Says Clean And Classic Like Crisp White Trim - But For A More Artful Approach, Try Framing The Room With Bold Black Or Metallic Gold Crown Molding. For A Smoother Look, Paint The Trim With A Satin Or Semigloss Finish In The Same Color As The Walls.

Staying In The Box Never Looked So Good!

Cleaning Dingey Walls

Guest: Irwin Industrial Tool Company dba SHUR-LINE

Nothing cleans up dingey walls like new paint.

So whether you’re applying a fresh coat of the same color or aiming for an entirely new look, start by wiping walls and trim to remove dust and cobwebs. Use mild cleaning agents to remove grime and always prime filled nail holes with a small roller before painting.

With a little extra effort, but you’ll feel good as new!
