When it comes to giving your home a fresh, stylish update, nothing beats the power of paint. This time, I’m taking on a small but impactful project—transforming the door trim in one of my rooms using Beyond Paint in a sleek Pewter shade. If you’re looking to revamp your space with minimal effort, keep reading to see how you can do the same!
Step 1: Prep the Area
Before diving into the painting, it’s essential to prep the area to ensure clean, crisp lines and a professional finish. Since I’m only updating the interior trim, I start by carefully taping off the surrounding walls and floors to protect them from any stray paint. Once everything is taped off, I mix up a simple solution of vinegar and water to clean the trim. This step is crucial to remove any dust, dirt, or grease that could prevent the paint from adhering properly. Alternatively, you can use a degreaser like Zep or Simple Green for a deeper clean.
Step 2: Choose Your Color and Tools
For this project, I’ve chosen Pewter—a stunning dark steel gray that promises to make the trim pop. Picking up the paint was a breeze; Beyond Paint is now available at Lowe’s, so I grabbed my supplies during a quick trip to the store.
Next up, I’ll be using a 3/8-inch microfiber roller. This roller size is perfect for trim work, ensuring smooth and even coverage. Don’t forget to shake the Beyond Paint container well before opening to mix the formula thoroughly.
Step 3: Apply Beyond Paint
One of the biggest perks of using Beyond Paint is its all-in-one formula that includes a primer, bonder, and sealer. This means there’s no need to strip, sand, or prime the trim before painting. With my roller ready, I apply the first coat of Pewter. The paint glides on effortlessly, quickly covering the old white paint underneath.
After the first coat, I let the paint dry for 2-4 hours. Then, I apply a second coat for a flawless, rich finish.
Step 4: The Finishing Touches
Once the second coat is fully dry, it’s time to peel off the tape. The moment of truth! I carefully remove the tape, revealing crisp, clean lines and a beautifully updated door trim. What I love about this project is how quickly it comes together—less than four hours from start to finish, thanks to Beyond Paint.
