Product Information

Here’s a tip: when painting, start at the bottom so you can grab onto the railings until you’re ready to paint them last. Even though it was a rough project for Josh, I LOVE the way it turned out. I especially loved that he took this on while I was away. A carpenter will replace a banister for a reasonable price, dependant on the work involved and the size of the staircase. You're looking in the hundreds, rather than thousands. As with any interior design element though, there's a high end option if you have the budget. 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

To achieve the aforementioned quality finish, you’re going to want to buy something that is easy to apply – whether you’re a professional or an amateur. There’s no point buying a paint that’s ultimately going to leave runs and brush marks on the final coat. This is perhaps the most important thing to consider when you’re painting your banisters. Sure, we all want that perfect look but it’ll mean nothing if in a few month’s time your paint is starting to scratch off or fade. I did a bunch of research first because I am severely manually challenged. I went to the hardware store got my supplies and got started. As one of the most touched surfaces in your home, your banister paint needs to withstand this. For that reason, choosing a washable satinwood or gloss is always a good call. Whilst a matt or eggshell paint might LOOK better, ultimately, they wouldn’t be able to withstand the high traffic. AestheticsHi! Yes, I believe primer is necessary, otherwise you risk the paint possibly peeling later. The paint I used was an enamel paint (Sherwin Williams Emerald Urethane Enamel), and that was the final coat. Nothing else was applied on top after the paint! Whilst 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. The picture above is actually before the before…the original staircase when we first moved in. It’s fun to see all the stages it’s been through! Looks SO nice!. Thank you for the step by step instructions, very helpful. You have a beautiful home.

Banister Paint Maintenance The picture below shows the type of paint I used. We have used the enamel throughout the house on cabinets, trims, furniture, etc. It’s just a great paint. I went with semi-gloss which to me gives just the right amount of shine. Think about how you want your banisters to look – do you want them to stand out? Maybe you want them a neutral colour that blends in with your existing decor. Either way, aesthetics matter! Ease of Application
