What is a potential problem of not properly removing trim before refinishing?

Not properly removing trim before refinishing can lead to visible unsightly edges at the masking points. When trim is not removed, paint may not reach areas that should be covered or may overlap onto adjacent surfaces, leading to an uneven finish. These edges can make the refinished area look unprofessional, as the paint may not adhere uniformly along the trim lines, resulting in sharp demarcations between the painted and unpainted surfaces. This situation can detract from the overall appearance of the refinished item, highlighting the importance of careful preparation before painting.

The other options do not align with the issue at hand; for instance, improved adhesion of paint and vibrant colors are more about the paint and conditions used rather than the trim’s removal. Additionally, achieving a seamless finish is unlikely if trim is not removed, as overspray and paint accumulation around edges will occur.
