FAQs

  • What is the best paint for trim?

    The best paint for trim depends on the look and durability you need. For a classic, high-gloss finish, choose a gloss trim paint. If you prefer a more subtle, contemporary look, satin or eggshell trim paint finishes are ideal. These options provide excellent coverage and a smooth, long-lasting result for interior trim.

  • Can I use trim paint on plastic surfaces?

    Yes, there are specialised plastic trim paint options designed to adhere to surfaces like PVC or plastic skirting boards. Make sure to use a primer specifically for plastic before applying paint for plastic trim to ensure a durable, professional finish.

  • What type of trim paint interior is best for bathrooms?

    For bathrooms, it’s important to choose a trim paint that resists moisture and mould. Look for bathroom trim paint with a satin or semi-gloss finish, as these are easy to clean and less prone to water damage.

  • How do I choose the right trim paint finish?

    The choice of trim paint finish depends on the look you want to achieve and the area being painted. Gloss finishes are more traditional and offer a shiny, reflective surface, making them ideal for high-traffic areas. Satin or eggshell finishes provide a softer look and are perfect for rooms where you want a more understated appearance.

  • Can I use door and trim paint for other woodwork?

    Absolutely! Door and trim paint is versatile and can be used on all types of interior trim, including skirting boards, window frames, and built-in shelving. It offers durability and a uniform finish across various surfaces.

  • What are some popular trim paint colours?

    Popular trim paint colours include classic whites and creams, which create a clean, crisp look. For a modern twist, consider darker shades like charcoal or navy, which add depth and contrast to lighter walls. Our range includes a variety of colours to suit any décor.

  • How do I apply paint trim guard to avoid mistakes?

    Using a paint trim guard is a great way to protect surfaces adjacent to the area you’re painting, such as walls or flooring. Simply place the guard along the edge of your trim and move it as you paint to ensure clean, straight lines.

  • Is there a specific trim paint for high-traffic areas?

    For high-traffic areas like hallways or doors, choose a trim paint with a high-gloss or semi-gloss finish. These finishes are more resistant to scuffs and marks and are easier to wipe clean, keeping your trim looking fresh for longer.

  • How do I prepare surfaces before using trim paint?

    To get the best results, sand the trim to create a smooth surface and remove any dust or grease. Use a suitable primer before applying your trim paint, especially if you're working with different materials such as wood or plastic.
