And if spray painting with a top coat of oil based gloss , do I need to thin the gloss paint and if yes would that be with white spirit? Candy

Maybe wait until later in the year when hopefully the warping has reduced and apply more top coats? I’m confused about breathable paint like this – does it let water vapour in as well as out? (I was expecting it to behave like Gore-tex!)

Gloss paint used to be the standard for wood, adding colour with a protective and durable shiny coating. But matte finishes are becoming increasingly popular, and gloss has taken a back seat.

The thing is when I paint it again it has got to be properly. I can’t keep taking it apart and stripping it every time there’s a problem. Rust-Oleum Clean Metal primer is formulated to cover lightly rusted metals as well as bare and previously painted metals. It’s weather- and corrosion-resistant and bonds tightly to exterior/interior surfaces like wood, metal, concrete, and masonry. Note: You may also be confused by the various terms used, and what the difference is between primer a sealer and an undercoat. While some manufacturers add to the confusion, it may be worth offering a general explanation. First, remove any loose paint around the chip before using the fine grit sandpaper to gently blend in the edges of the chip. Next, clean and apply a thin coat of undercoat with the one-inch brush.

I guess the answer is to try a small trial area first, with and without knotting, to see if you do have any problems, although I’d be surprised if you do? As well as a heat gun, you will need a paint scraper to remove the paint. Consider using a combination shave hook scraper alongside a more traditional flat scraper. These are great for removing window frames, door frames and doors.The only explanation I could have for this is that it is sorcery! Vallejo Metal Color Review – Range If you’re painting intricate cornices, single sheets of sandpaper will make it much easier to get into all the little nooks and crannies. Stir the gloss paint. Load the brush with gloss as shown in the picture and start painting in the middle and work outwards (as in step 8). Allow the gloss to flow out over the surface as you paint – don’t be tempted to over brush the paint or you’ll leave marks. Keep an eye out for runs in the paint (corners are particularly prone to them) and brush them out immediately. I wouldn’t worry too much about using the same system on both sides of the doors. The only issues you’ll encounter are a possible loss of adhesion, as you mention above, and the likelihood of the stain bleeding through the new painted finish and causing unsightly staining. Aluminium wood primer will solve this problem, as will most acrylic, water or spirit based primers (like the Zinsser products you are aware of). Help please , I am redecorating a hall and stairwell which has a ceiling height of over four meters. The walls are covered in wallpaper which I intend to paint over. The idea is to save time and money.

Well so far I’ve got to applying the first coat of the new valspar product and I can still see the creamy yellow tinge starting to appear. Water-based primer is best for walls and ceilings. Oil-based primer is primarily used for doors, windows, metal, woodwork, or over tough stains in well-ventilated areas. Q. Which is better: primer or paint with primer? The main causes of paint failure on windows are ultra violet radiation (from direct sunlight) and/or a high moisture content. Direct sunlight is the likely culprit in your case. The open grain you describe also suggests the timber itself has become denatured making any subsequent paint coating much more likely to fail. You’re repainting a previously painted surface in the same color or going from a lighter to a darker paint color. Any ideas please – I know I could use an oil based top coat but I really want to use an eggshell finish which is typically water based. ColinEach type of primer may adhere better to different surfaces. The following details the best primer type for common household surfaces: Using water based finishes over previously oil based finishes can often be problematic. If you want to still use the same paint it might be worth experimenting with a solution on a trial area? I have a new wooden gate, untreated. Before painting with Farrow and Ball primer and eggshell water- based paint I want to use a wood preservative. I’ve now stripped her down to bare wood completely with a heat gun. It has taken a long time but I don’t mind. You want to use a paint with a different base than that of the primer. For example, use an oil-based primer with a latex paint to take advantage of the rot resistance of the oil primer and the lower VOCs and faster drying of the latex paint.

I’ve read about a primer which allows you to ‘convert’ From an oil to water based finish but I don’t know type this is or where to buy it. Sarah This can cause a headache for both walls and woodwork. If the previous colour was dark, this has can ‘grin’ through the new pale finish, meaning you may need an extra coat or two. This can be avoided by obliterating the dark shade using an undercoat on woodwork and a coat of a pale Matt wall paint on the walls. Of course, this also works if you are painting over a pale shard with a dark one, you just use a dark undercoat/matt instead. You’re changing the color from darker to lighter. The tinted primer reduces the number of paint coats needed to hide the darker base coat.The choice of wood should be the best you can afford really but since you’re going to paint it anyway I wouldn’t go overboard. Standard pine will do the job just fine – avoid MDF though as it will absorb any moisture in the air like a sponge. I’ve found that when choosing a colour it’s best to ignore what the paint looks like in the bottle and just go off the name.
