What type of paint do I need for painting wood in a bathroom?

First step treat all knots with white knotting, using white knotting prevents showing through paintwork and tends to penetrate without leaving a raised surface like the darker knotting tends to do. Apply one coat of oil based primer using a quality brand rather than diy paints from diy stores (Dulux) is as good as any on the market. Ensure that you have coated up all edges and ends of open grained timber. Apply two coats of oilbased undercoat lightly rubbing down between coats with a fine abrasive sheet grade 140 or finer. Finally apply finishing coat of gloss/eggshell/satin oilbased and not forgetting those important edges to stop any moisture penetration!.

hi because of the water contact - using bath/basin - you should be using oil based paints :1 coat of primer ( for bare/unsealed wood )1 coat of undercoat & 1/2 topcoats ( gloss/eggshell) regards ME homeimprovements

First you need to treat the knotts with knotting liquid other wise they will bleed once painted. then use a wood primer/undercoat and a top coat of gloss,satin or egg shell they are all fine in bathroom areas as all vey tough. ALICK OF PAINT.
