        "text": "Yes, new trim typically requires painting or sealing after installation to protect the material and achieve the desired finished look. Even pre-primed trim needs a topcoat of paint to seal it from moisture, prevent scuffs, and integrate it with your interior or exterior color scheme. For natural wood trim, applying a stain and protective sealant enhances its grain and provides durability. Proper finishing extends the life of your trim and makes it easier to clean and maintain over time.",
