roller, brush or spray, best way to paint skirting etc

[satans worm]

so i have new skirting board and architrave to go on a room (followed by the rest of the house when im ready) which is the best way to paint the stuff?

Small foam roller, 2 inch brush or by spray gun?

Note although cut, none are in place yet, will paint off the walls and refit after, also its primed MDF if it makes a difference (want a nice smooth finish)

The paint is Farrow and Ball and being the least glossy version they sell that's appropriate still for skirting i could get (forget what they call it exactly)

lengths involved are 4 meters ish

Thanks!

Are you painting Boris's flat?

I recommend airless spray.

I do have such a device but thought the faf of cleaning might not warrant it ( to make it more difficult I have a septic tank not on mains)

Also, would I be correct in saying it would require more coats then a brunch / roller
Maybe I’ll inbox it and give it a go.

Thanks

I would go with the airless sprayer, 4mtrs is going to be hard work with a 2'' brush.

Agreed, it will take all of 10-15 minutes with a brush. Better to spend that time setting up for airless spraying and twice as much cleaning up afterwards.

Brush for the detail and sponge roller for the flat bits. It’ll take no time at all.

Then once on the walls cut them in with these (after caulking):
