Even for a newbie, baseboard trim is easy to spray paint, using an airless sprayer, equipped with the right size spray tip. Spray painted baseboard has a smoother finish, and while you can certainly achieve a smooth finish too using a quality paint brush, the sprayed look is superior when done right.
Thereof, can you spray trim?
Spray the trim in long, even strokes, keeping the tip about 12 inches from the surface you're spraying. For doors, overlap each successive spray pass by approximately 50%.

Considering this, do you spray trim or walls first?
Paint the Trim First, Then the Ceilings and Walls Pros usually follow a certain order when painting a room. They paint the trim first, then the ceiling, then the walls. That's because it's easier (and faster) to tape off the trim than to tape off the walls.
Typical baseboard materials There are a variety of baseboard sizes and styles available, but generally speaking, fiberboard will be less expensive, with costs averaging 60 cents to $1 per foot. For wood baseboard, expect to pay 80 cents to $1.20 per foot, not including installation.
