Trim, Baseboard, Caseing.... to spary or brush the paint on?

We opted to paint our new house ourselves. We have painted all the walls %26amp; are now moved on to the trim. The trim is not installed yet, we have already primed and sanded all of it and we are ready to paint it.





So the question is..... Are we better of renting a TRUE airless sprayer for $70 or just to brush the paint on. Advice, input, or recomendations are appreciated!Trim, Baseboard, Caseing.... to spary or brush the paint on?
Paint with a brush...The ones from Lowes like a pastry brush are great, not expensive.........also the sponge brushes are good and they are cheaper too....Good luck....Trim, Baseboard, Caseing.... to spary or brush the paint on?
Spend the extra 10 bucks on the best brush you can get and you will leave far less brush lines. Eggshell finish leaves less shine and hides defects. Semi-gloss shows more, and flat absorbs light and leaves a dull look to the painted area.


Buy a sash brush and a 2 and 4 inch brush brush to better detail your and less dripping in tight spots.
brush, then install, then final coat, got to cover up the nails, also think about caulking edges, tops of baseboards, edges of casings, gives a cleaner and more professional appearance
You'll use far less paint, and do a better job, with a brush.
brush it on. not thickly. do 2 coats.


Sprayers are a p-i-a
