My home is roughly 30 years old and it's always had the same look. Since the hurricanes hit im thinking it's time to do a few upgrades like paint. My delimma is what to do about the baseboards and doors all of which are unpainted wood. All the trim work in the house is stained natural. If I were to paint a room would it look out of place to keep it that way or do I paint it? And if I'm painting should I just do the frame instead? Lots of questions surrounding this. I'm doing some neutral grey colors so the trim would theoretically need to be white to match. I'll follow this scheme for the entire house minus the bathrooms which I'll paint a different color, the washroom and kitchen.

So this is the year I'm finally going to get new paint on the house. I'm looking at April, good weather & very little rain normally. SW Florida, stucco over block. Existing paint (flat white) looks pretty good for being 25 years old. My bestest tow buddy is going to loan me his spraying equipment for the job. Surface prep and masking will be majority of the labor. Question #1 (of many I'm sure): I can read paint labels concerning coverage, but I'd rather have real world experience telling me how much paint I'm likely to need. SO, did measuring and math today and the surface area (minus the windows) comes to about 1545 sq ft. If I add 10% (?) I would be roughly 1700. If I get the 5 gal buckets, I'm thinking "3" would do it or is that overkill/underkill on quantity? Question #2: Lots of opinions on brands/stores. Stay away from Big Box on this? Any brands that stand out or to avoid? Question #3: Acrylic vs. latex? Any and all advice gladly accepted. :coffee:
