Probably asking a daft question.... but here goes. 
Have a quote accepted to paint hall, 2-landings, stair rods and rails of three story terrace. All woodwork currently dark wood stain. Wants it all painted white! I expect to have to rub, apply 2-undercoats and 2-topcoats of chosen Satinwood before it looks anywhere near good! Wasn't far wrong when doing another room for the customer - with some corners of architraves and beading requiring a 5th local touch-up!
Using Dulux trade undercoat and Satinwood.
Any recommendations for making the job easier\quicker?
Would a primer be a better 1st coat rather than an undercoat?
Other than that, I only have my radio and headphones to stop me being driven mad by seeing each of those stair rods four times! The hall has loadsa stained T&G as well!
Cheers,
Neil
