How to paint a door frame or door jamb - (correct technique)

now I'm just going to go through the processes of um painting a door frame or a door jam now this Frame is already been sanded and dusted off and it's ready to go um so the first thing you want to do is actually to paint um the back Edge now the reason why you start the back Edge is because the door now if you went through and painted the rest of the frame first what would happen is when you go to do the back Edge you'll obviously want to get to the back Edge so you'll shut the door now the chances are if the wind catches it or something the door will actually blow closed and actually hit your freshly painted door frame so you don't want that happening so what you need to do is paint the back Edge first then open the door and leave it open and that's where it stays for the remainder of the door frame so once you've done your back Edge um then go up and start painting the top now when you're um painting do your flat bits first and then do the face also um you want to stop at that edge and leave that face for when you're actually painting the outside so once you finish painting the inside of the top then move on to the side paint that side all the way down and once again leave this face until you paint the outside of the frame so once you finish that then you'll need to go through and paint the um the hinge side so once you finish the hinge Edge then bring the rest of that face all the way down and just remember to always lay off as you're going through um try to lay off in nice long strokes so it ends up with a nice even finish so once you've done the the face here it will be time to cut it in now you don't do the the front face always cut the sides in first now the reason for this if you to do that face and then try to cut it in while you're cutting in some of the hairs of the brush will actually obviously get some paint on that face and obviously damage it so you want to make sure you cut the edge in first then come down and do the face and that way you'll be left with a nice a nice finish so once you finish doing that face then it be time to do the top and once again just do the flat bits first and then do the face and obviously continue over on the other side exactly the same now one of the main reasons for doing it in this order is when it comes to doing all your Corners you want to keep all the corners wet as possible so you can get them nice and even so by doing the method I'm showing you all the corners will be nice and easy to work work with because they'll all be wet so hopefully that's helped and um yeah as I said that's just been a bit of a a demo on um how to paint a door frame
