Painting A Hand Rail. How To Paint Stair Railing.

paint and we're going to be starting from the bottom and we're going to be working our way up. Because if we start from the top down, our brush strokes going down will have a tendency to make the paint run easier. So, our brush strokes want to be going up and working up. So, there's less likely that our paint is going to run. And I've got a two gallon bucket that I can set my cord in. That way, I don't drip or actually drop that quart and spill it on the carpet. So, I'll be working right here. We're just going to be doing this railing cap right here. And I took and I sanded it with a 3M medium sanding sponge. And then I used Jasco Del Glosser to gloss it so our paint would adhere to the previous painting coat a lot better. So, it would be just putting on the paint quickly. And you got to work fast because the paint dries quickly and begins to coagulate. And if you don't work quickly, it'll leave brush strokes really bad. The paint will coagulate and dry too quickly.

I've got done working my way all the way to the top and then I'm going to now go back down and start looking at it and keep and watch it for runs because it'll have a tendency to run really easily and because of the angle and the steepness of it. And so I'll just watch and if any spots begin to run, I'll begin to lightly brush them out. So, I had something begin to run along here and I'm just um you got to be really careful because the paint's dry and it's beginning to dry and it'll coagulate and leave the brush strokes really bad. So, just keep an eye on it. Hopefully, you put a thin enough coat on there that it won't run. If you get it too thick, it's going to run really bad.
