Hello- My current home is full of cheap pine trim that has been painted brown. As part of updating the house before selling next year, I'd like to repaint the trim work. To contrast with the wall colors, I think painting white would be generic, easy, and look nice. I expect to have to paint over with Kilz, but wanted some more info first from folks that have done this before. How many coats of Kilz will be necessary? (is there a better product for trim?) How many coats of paint on the Kilz will be necessary? I want to avoid the gloopy globby paint I've seen on most trim that is painted -- is this even possible? (My first preference is stained wood, but stripping and staining all this trim would be a waste of time and a lot of effort. The trim is just not high enough quality to justify that work -- plus I'm selling next year) The doors are also brown, but have a noticeable texture to them. I'm not so sure painting them will cover up this texture. They're also cheap hollow doors. Any suggestions? Thanks much in advance!

Ok - I want to use sherwin williams 6901 - Daffodil, on the outside of my house. Sherwin Williams is telling me that #1 it's an interior color only because #2 it'll fade quickly outside. What can I do about this? Can I use an ICI color, or Bennie Moore color - color matched to the SW 6901? Will I still have the fading problem? Or should I just select a different color? What's so darn special about this yellow that it fades? :thinker:
