I want to change my newel posts, banisters and spindles from their current dark colour (Sadolin redwood) to white. I'm worried about chips appearing later on so I'm looking for something pretty hard wearing.
I'm thinking that spraying would give better results than hand painting but I'm not sure what paint to buy or how to approach it. I've heard that solvent based paint is easier to apply for a DIYer like me and I'm not bothered by the smell. Should I just hire a compressor and apply a primer, an undercoat and then a topcoat? If so, what's the best paint?
The wood is in excellent condition but the Sadolin is a bit shiny so I'm foreseeing hours of sanding unless there's a really clever primer out there that will just stick to it.
Views or opinions appreciated.
Cheers
