Posts: 10,404	Painting Trim do you mean sand it to remove the flaking paint? if so, try a putty knife or chisel to CAREFULLY pull off as much paint as possible. is the trim baseboards? crown moulding? is there a surface pattern cut in? if so, perhaps Strypeeze first? we'd need more info on the trim or perhaps pics to help you more.
