preparation required for painting wood?
I've got a lot of wood (doors,frames,architrave,skirting,stair
bannisters) in an Edwardian house to paint. It's currently painted in white (gloss I think) but may have serveral layers underneath. I want to paint it in white also( probably not gloss) but I'm not sure how much sanding I need to do before I can start painting. I'm also worried that lead paint may have been used on some of the wood. Is it sufficient to clean the wood and lightly sand it to ensure the new paint gets a grip? |
