Correct way to repaint surface

[Mr Sparkle]

About a year ago, I painted my staircase.

Applied zinsser bin and dulux satinwood oil based trade paint

The dulux satin wood has come off in a few places and needs recoating

Can I just simply sand the area a little with some 180 grit sandpaper and retouch with the satin wood? Or do I have to do something else to ensure longevity?

Zinsser Bin is a primer. Then you would undercoat on top of that, then top coat on top of that. If you don't, it's likely to peel.

If I was painting a wall would I need to use undercoat before topcoat as well? Or could I use oil based primer, then oil paint top coat

Currently, existing wall has waterbased emulsion

You would just use emulsion.

I would advise against oil based paints on walls. It really, really stinks and you will find that the paint will become darker behind fittings and pictures. In the old days, I used to occasionally use dead flat oil based paints but these days you can get waterbased versions (admittedly they are less durable).

Takes me back to college. Glossing a 10 x 8 foot wall in gloss with a 4 inch brush!

I recall an old guy that used to work for me telling me about the first time a rep turned up onsite with a roller. Everyone complained that the roller was really hard work...

Opps you're usually right on the money..

But I have to disagree with you on this one..

The oil based satin finish looks so tasty.. I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome

Pic was while both the black and white paint were drying

To quickly get rid of the smell, I used an Ozone machine..

After 12 hours the smell was barely in the room.. After 36 hours the smell was non-existent

Thanks for the help and comments guys

I must admit, that I once painted my kitchen walls with oil based eggshell. I started of by lining the walls, applied two coats of acrylic primer, sanded everything flat and then followed up with 4 coats of oil based eggshell (sanding between coats). I absolutely loved the finish, it almost looked like a sprayed finish. It was so durable that you could scrub it with a green scouring pad.

Regrettably, over the years it did discolour, the walls that got direct sunlight were noticeably darker than the ones which didn't.

BTW, I am genuinely impressed with your wall. Kudos.
