Repainting skirting, doors and bannisters
I have just moved into a new flat and need to redecorate as it has not been well looked after. The skirting boards, architraves and bannisters have all got a thick, creamy coloured gloss finish which I can only assume is layers of oil based paint. I am thinking that I need to sand them all down to take some of the paint off, prime with a wood primer undercoat and then paint white? I don't want the high gloss look so would Satinwood be a good option? Any advice would be greatly appreciated, I know it would be easier to get a decorator but unfortunately money won't allow it so I need to do this myself.
