I’m going to be installing painted trim in a remodel and I want to pre-paint all the wood, hang it, then do touchups. Is there a good putty to use, or a good technique, to fill nail holes and paint over in such a situation without telegraphing the location of every nail??? To make matters worse, I’ll probably spray the paint originally and have to do touchups by brush, of course. Am I asking the impossible? If anyone wants to know why we’re not just painting the existing trim, it’s because it’s 30 yrs old, they want a different style, and they want to switch from mitered trim to plinth, rosette, and corner blocks. Any input would be much appreciated!

Few people understand it. Nobody agrees what it is, how to learn about it, or who's responsible for it. It has never been more important
