Good Morning :D

I have to prepare the skirting, archatraves, loft hatch etc for a recoat.

It is the usual white gloss at the mo, a bit rough in places too.

Is it a rub down with 400 and then undercoat before the final coating of fresh gloss? Or another method?

Thanks all

hi 400 grit is a bit fine use 240 on the existing gloss work it will give u a better key 4 the undercoat to adhere to,then use a 320 before re-glossing......
