Has anyone painted their whole staircase?

If so, what did you do to make the treads non slip? We are doing ours at the moment and I can't decide between those tiny balls that you add to paint or a non slip decking-type clear topcoat which will stink until it's dry.

We have but we didn't put anything on to make it non slip - we like the daily challenge (grin)

I just know that DS2 will go A over T if we don't, he is good a falling over on deceptively flat surfaces. Did you paint the whole thing in one colour or have a contrast on the treads?

me too - just put several coats of varnish to protect my artistic work!

Be very careful how you paint. Do not paint up. Then down and find yourself trapped in the middle

Oops Hello! I'm undercoating today, still undecided about the which anti-slip method to use we are very clumsy. Time for a good old google
