Currently painting the living room and the walls and ceiling have been done and now it's time for the skirting.
I've tried many paint colours but none seem to please me, so i then tested out some varnish and the results, in terms of colour and style, did satisfy me. That said, the actual finish did not. I found brushing on the varnish to be difficult, it did not spread evenly due to it's thick consistency so the end result was not suitable to continue.
Now my question is, is there any way to use a varnish (or something similar) that would be easy to brush and spread evenly on top of the paint that is already on the skirting? Buying a different type of paint to brush onto the skirting first would not be an issue if that is the solution to get the varnish on top to spread evenly.
I'm looking for a pine or light oak type of a look and only a varnish is able to produce such a finish. Sanding down the paint to the bare wood is not an option as it would be just far too difficult.
All help would be much appreciated!
