Hello,
My other half would like to remodel our staircase and paint the dark wooden hand rails and newel caps with a grey gloss paint.
I have been trying to puzzle out the best way to paint the wood and get a good finish.
My current thoughts are..
1) Give it a light sanding
2) Paint it with some form of stain blocker
3) Paint it with some form or primer (maybe 2 coats)
4) Paint it with the gloss.
5) Coat the gloss with some form of protection against chipping?
Does this sound like an ok plan? Or am I missing some vital steps? If there anything I can paint over the gloss to protect it from chips etc?
Thanks
