After First coat?

[blakeas]

I have put my first coat on of Behr interior paint - brown in my bedroom. When i do my second coat do i have to do the trim all over again? Or can i just use the roller - will that make it look uneven?

You need to cut it in and roll it. The second coat will likely deepen the color [better coverage] and it is apt to show if you skip a step.

Best is to cut it in again as Mark stated. If you are reall dead set against doing it, look around the room very closely. You'll see why we recommend a second cut-in.

Not if the trim is already fully coated. If it needs another coat, then it needs another coat.
Definitely don't roll out the trim, or it will leave an unattractive stipple. Always brush the trim.

Are we talking about woodwork trim or cutting in the walls [I often hear non painters refer to this as trimming in the room]

sorry I meant cutting in again not the trim - I was wondering if i have to do the corners again on a 2nd coat.

I'd say yes. I catch someone not cutting in on a second coat, they're fired :mad:
