| Mar 12 at 0:52 | comment | added | RMDman | @Huesmann, That's cool. I have done that as well, but the OP specifically planned on putting down paper and leaving it until the paint is dry. We both know the likely results of that. Op also asked if there were problems with his idea that make it bad...there is. | |
| Mar 11 at 14:21 | comment | added | Huesmann | @RMDman I paint, then remove the paper almost right away. As long as the paint isn't glopped on, it's fine. If the paint is glopped on, you can get drips onto the floor as it dries. | |

Better to put down a strip of maybe 3 feet of paper. Paint with a brush and slide the paper down to paint another 3 feet of trim. Then you are always moving the paper before the paint dries. It just make no sense to spray trim. | |
