People think that you have to remove the old paint, unless it is a varnish or polyurethane. It is not always true. This should only be done if the paint is badly damaged. You can sand the surface down if you are just painting or changing colours.
Undercoating the wrong product. Undercoats are designed to seal and bind the surface to create a neutral plane.
It’s time to talk about the finish coats. It doesn’t matter if it is satin, semi-gloss or gloss enamel. Quality will always be the best choice. You are NOT cool if you buy the special bonza paints mixed in a science lab at a high-school. You should use good quality enamels, and don’t forget to choose paints that are water-based and produced in an environmentally friendly manner. Keep this in mind! Quality products lead to quality workmanship.
A BRUSH of poor quality is the most common mistake made when painting your home woodwork. If you’re willing to use a broken broom as your finishing brush then your finished product will look like #$%@$%$%$%$%$%%%%@$%$%$%@$%%$%$%%$%%$%@$%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%@$%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% @$$%! @$ also. You should choose a brush with soft bristles. These days, there are many synthetic brushes that are of high quality and can handle miles well. I only use these brushes for oil-based or water-based paints. A 63mm sashcutter is a good choice for beginners. This brush type and size will cover your bases.
