Painting A Hand Rail. How To Paint Stair Railing.

What happens here

When painting the vertical sections of the railing, always start painting from the bottom and work your way upwards. This technique is critical because if you paint from top-down, gravity will cause the paint to run more easily, creating drips. By working upwards, any excess paint is less likely to run. Apply the paint to cover a section, then lay it out smoothly with upward brush strokes. Continue this process, working your way up the entire railing.

Goal: Apply paint to the railing's vertical sections to prevent runs.

going to start on this railing and just start from the bottom and work my way up. So I'm putting the paint putting the paint on first and then I'll begin to lay it out after I get it on. So, get a section completely covered and then I'll begin laying it out, moving it up.
