Putting on my summer jobs list to repaint the stair bannister!
1920s house. Paint on bannister a real mix, lots of chips and different paint finishes, although most are minor.
Quick option is sand back and repaint.
Long option is strip off 90+ years of paint, clean, prime, paint.
To add to the dilemma - just tested for lead paint and whilst the new stuff is fine, where there are chips this has tested positive for lead so base coat will be lead.
Any advice?
