In need of some good advice. Hi. I tried my hand at painting the doors of our new construction home without a lot of success. So, I decided to hire a professional that was recommended by the SW down the road. They said he was really good. I called him and we agreed on a price for the doors and trim. He sprayed the trim with white lacquer but did a poor job of filling the nail holes and prepping the trim. The trim is rough, lightly covered in some places and has a lot of nail holes that were not filled. He took all the doors off to spray them and left w/o hanging them back up. On one door he just sprayed right over the bronze hinges. Anyway, now I need to go back and fix it. He is long gone and will not return any phone calls. How do I fix this? My plan is to sand the painted and lacquered trim, re-do the nail holes with putty, spackeling, MH??? not sure which one. Then I guess I have to reprime and then re-paint. Can I spot prime and spot paint the problem areas? I am not sure what steps to take. The trim is already painted with lacquer. I am not sure if he even primed before he painted the trim. I will take any suggestions. Thanks
