Painting baseboards and doors
In my home I'm wanting to update the look of the trim work by painting everything. I'm going to be painting my walls a nice neutral grey and I want all the trim work to be white. This means I'm going to have to paint the doors as well since everything in here is a natural wood finish. The house was built in the early 90s when this was the norm. I'm doing this because I'm also adding some crown molding which is white already. What is the best method for painting these items that's going to be right the first time? I don't believe there is anything applied did the baseboards right now.

I'd scuff sand and apply a coat of oil base primer, then putty any nail holes that need it, sand the primer and caulk all the joints. Then apply 2 coats of a quality latex paint.
