Hi,
I've been gradually stripping many layers of gloss paint off my banisters, with the intention of
painting the bottom half a semi gloss white and the rails and posts a wood colour, preferably quite dark.
Below is a bad computer mock-up showing roughly how I would want it to look.
As the below picture probably shows, the quality of the wood isn't great and I still have a lot of
sanding a cleaning up to do...
I sometimes get the feeling that I'm polishing a turd on this one...but I'm persevering with it.
My question is, what would you recommend I paint the rails and posts with? I need a solid
colour - preferably dark - to cover the many imperfections beneath, but I've
no idea what type of paint to use.
Any suggestions? or should I just paint the whole lot white?
I am a complete decorating novice btw
