Hi all, I'm new here. My husband and I are taking on the gigantic task of painting all the ugly orangey-oak trim in our house. After much research we are going with BM's Advance for the trim which I am really excited to use. We're sanding and then priming with Graham's Aqua Borne ceramic primer.
I have a few questions:
1) Do I need to sand in between coats? The primer seems to have leveled out nicely already, so I was thinking just one coat of it without any additional sanding is fine.
2) When do we do the caulking? After the primer? Is all paintable caulk compatible with all types of paint?
3) We're also painting all the walls too, and were going to do so after painting the trim. I'm finding it hard to cut the trim into the walls, and am hoping that the paint that's ending up on the walls is fine to paint over with the wall paint we bought (BM's Regal Select).
Any advice would be great! It's our first time using an alkyd paint but I've heard (and seen) great things with the Advance so I'm hopeful it will turn out awesome.
