The trim, doors and built in can get as many as five coats of paint. Initially the edges and joints are filled, then a spray primer applied. Following the prime, a bondo patch is applied to any areas that require it, such as the still visible nail holes or joints. A second primer coat is applied and then two lacquer coats are used for the finish. Much discussion has taken place regarding the relative safety or toxicity of the paint material, so we are attempting to use all water based lacquer on the first job. The painters didn't recommend that as the product cannot be made as hard or durable.
