WTF a coping saw LOL You have to be kidding. I might want to do this if I was working by the hour. Its a shame to have such a nice miter saw and not know how to use it. " When cutting crown cut up side down" Thats basically you have to remember.When you know the how to install using the crown law you can lose the coping saw! This video cracked me up.

Unless you have all the time in the world, this is a time consuming and unnecessarily procedure.

From my experience a good painter can paint it faster in place and and do a better job, as most of the time you end up coming back anyway to touch up caulking joints and hand prints. The only exception is pre primed molding will save a prime coat.

try giving the molding a few coats of paint first before putting it in place ,then just touch up the nail indents.

CRAFTSMAN TIP: When working with larger crown mouldings, I take some 2x4 and rip in at an angle. I nail it to the corner where the ceiling corner meets the wall corner, that way it'll give you some material to attach the crown moulding to when you nail it in. For splicing, what Dryhter said is correct but for hardwood, you want to pick the best shades of color and grain to match so it seems continuous.

CRAFTSMAN TIP: I always have two piece to test fit before I nail it in. When installing the first piece with the straight cut, you want to have a sample coped miter ready so you can angle the first piece correctly before you nail. That way, when you nail in your second piece that is already coped, it would fit more perfectly. This is vitally important because with hardwood crown such as maple or oak, you won't be able to use caulk to fill the gap.
