painting a staircase - what type of paint?
Anonymous user 09/03/2024 - 3.05 PM
Hello, I removed the carpet, nails, staples , old paint etc from my staircase. filled holes and sanded. I then applied a white primer to it. Thinking I would then paint it a dark grey and other colours. In retrospect the white primer ruined all my hard work as I cannot stain it now and it would have looked much nicer. Unless i remove all the paint (question and statement!). Also, what is the best type of paint to use on the stairs if I go ahead with the grey/multi idea? Thanks

If you want to paint it use water based primer and a satin top coat which can be easily removed or over painted

Hi the best type of paint would be a wood and metal paint eggshell finish.
