attn: people who are handy and shit

i am going to be painting the trim, window borders/sills, and doorways in my apartment with high gloss mo-fuckin paint up in that piece sometime soon. other than the paint, what do i need? what kind of brushes are best so that like, lines don't show up and shit?

tape! (the blue kind of painters tape)

they also make trim rollers that are about 3 inches wide that fucking rule. I would tape the shit out of the place, attack the trim with the rollers, then go back and touch up the edges with a 2" brush. that sholud keep the lines to a minimum - even better is if you can just use the rollers. They also have those foam brushes, but I prefer regs.

ok i will probably be able to use the rollers a bit... but this is an old apartment and all the trim has this crazy cut out details and stuff! but i didnt know about the tape. good call. thx dude!

Just remember to ventilate. Or, if you don't, then at least remember to post something incomprehensible yet interesting on here while you're all huffed out.

A kitty in a mask would be far too adorable to meet the safety standards of this board.
