    You can spray paint the trim first, then tape off the trim and paint the rest. You may have to use two coats of peach since it is a lighter color than the green.

    Hello Carmen, It sounds to me as though you have already done the peach colored painting, so wait until it is dry and then using newspaper and painters' tape, cover the peach painted areas, and THEN spray the green paint on. When you are done with one area, carefully remove the tape and newpaper and you will have a nice crisp line from the taped edge, and while the green paint continues to dry you can move on to the next area. Enjoy your "new" kitchen, and thanks for using HOMETALK for answers :)

    Use newspaper and masking tape or painter's tape to protect every bit of peach and other surfaces. If you were brush painting, just the tape would suffice. Will one can of spray cover all the trim in two coats? It should, but you will have to be very precise to avoid needing to touch up the edges. Best wishes! 😇

    Tape off the peach areas using that blue painters tape, making sure to stick the edges down firmly so the green paint doesn't seep under it. Spray the green paint into a disposable plastic cup/container (in a well ventilated area or even outside), then use a brush to apply it. Spray paint dries fairly quickly, so you'll have to move fast.

    You will probably have to use painter's tape. Tape off the part you want peach first and then spray paint the green trim. Wait for the paint to dry all the way. Then tape off the green part you painted (make sure it has dried all the way so the painter's tape does not remove parts of it), and then paint the part you want peach. We did this process painting this desk:
