Dining Room Project: Painting Molding

The dining room has two entry ways. Both entry ways will receive door frame moulding. It is very typical to incase the entire entryway frame (both sides of the wall and the area in between). I am not encasing the entire frame for two reasons: first, this is only decorative. And second, there are obstructions on the other side of the wall that would make adding molding difficult. One such obstruction is a kitchen cabinet that goes almost flush with the doorway frame. 

I purchased moulding that was already primed. All I need to do is add the first coat of paint, and then they will be ready to cut. Optionally, I could have cut them before painting. The second coat of paint will be added after moulding is mounted to the wall.
