Hi all, wondering if anyone could offer me some help and advice. A coupe of years ago I had my hallway redecorated and the dark wood bannister etc was undercoated and painted with eggshell white ( I had a professional decorater in to do this)
since then, and with the help of my 2 young daughters, the bannister etc is chipped in quite a few places and the dark is showing through. Am I correct in assuming that I need to rub down the whole bannister, handrail etc and will I have to undercoat the whole thing before painting or can I just undercoat the patches (none are bigger than 1cm) or do I have to undercoat the whole thing?
My second question is, does anyone have any hints or tips on ensuring that I do not get any paint on the carpet as I will need to paint below the carpet line on each stair?
sorry about the long post and I hope I have "painted" a clear enough picture.......
Thanks
