Today I have a special guest – my husband Josh. I was away for an amazing trip with my best friend for two weeks. I thought he was going to golf for those two weeks. Little did I know that he was busy with home projects. Not only that, but he was photographing and writing a post for one of them. He wins 1000 gold stars!! With that, I’m going to turn this over to him. How to paint a banister Choosing a paint that is resistant to stains and grease will win you half the battle but for those particularly stubborn marks, you might need to give your banister a good wipe down. Get Prices for a Professional Decorator Near You I can highly recommend Dulux’s Diamond Satinwood. It’s great to use, has a fantastic flow rate and has adorned my own banisters for the last 5 years – still looks great and marks wipe off easily. Overall a lovely bit of gear. The open space under the stairs here is used to store a laundry basket and a white storage unit, which add to a relaxed and lived-in look. How much does it cost to replace a banister? Your paint job should last you for years so don’t be afraid to spend a little bit more now on a high quality paint that will be a dream to apply and will ultimately stand the test of time.

Banisters | Family Handyman 10 Ways to Freshen Up Outdated Banisters | Family Handyman

Originally I thought I was not going to pain the spindles to I taped off each spindle (57 of them…Ask me how I know). I seriously counted to 57, 58 times during this project). Even though I painted the spindles, I’m glad I prepped each one because the tape made a very clean divide line that I wouldn’t have been able to eye ball Of course, being oil-based, you’ll need to deal with the typical pitfalls such as the odour so if you do go with this paint, make sure to air out your home before, during and after application. This project took 3 coats (2 coats was almost good enough, but not quite in some spots..). Before and AfterWhilst the top 3 paints in the vote were in favour of satin finishes, the number 4 spot goes to Johnstone’s non-drip gloss. And just because the gloss comes in 4th place, that doesn’t mean we should rule it out entirely and I’ll explain why. When you apply the primer and paint start with the underside first. excess product will accumulate on the sides giving you a chance to smooth it out when moving to the sizes and top of the banister. In our house my wife makes a Honey Do list. She posts in on the fridge, knowing that me and the fridge are tight. Needless to say, I see it 27 times a day. What she doesn’t know is that I divide that list into two sublists. The ‘Ya I’ll do that” list and the “Um, I’ll do that…EVENTUALLY!” list.

Best Paint for Banisters in the UK | Voted for By Best Paint for Banisters in the UK | Voted for By

The primer is not intended to cover evenly, so don’ t be discouraged when some sections of the wood absorb the primer more or less than other sections. Fortunately, the Diamond Satinwood (despite being a trade paint) comes in a relatively small size (1 litre) so will easily cover your banister with a couple of coats and you’ll likely have plenty leftover for touch ups on other woodwork within your home. We are very much in agreement with the 32% of professional decorators who chose this as the best paint for banisters. As far as retail paint goes, there are plenty of professional decorators (15% of the overall vote for example) who swear by Crown’s non-drip satin and would recommend it for use on banisters.As an old head, I still prefer to use oil-based paints as I think they look nicer so if I was going to be painting a banister Jonno’s non-drip gloss would be my first choice. It’s hands down the best when it comes to price:performance ratio. Always leave the top of the banister for last as you will be constantly need to hold on to or lien over the rail while you paint or prime the other sides of the banister. I used a simple solution of soap and water and cleaned the railings fairly well. I removed any gunk or other remnants from each banister (5 pieces total) so that the primer would adhere properly. Being a satinwood finish, it’s also a bit nicer on the eye due to it being a mid-sheen and gives a nice balance between being good at hiding imperfections but not being too reflective.
