Or if you want a crisp clean look paint your handrails and banisters white.
Best paint for stair banister.
I roll frog tape.
1 quart indoor paint primer.
It levels beautifully without brush strokes with my favorite brushes that you can get at michael s for under 10.
1 quart semi gloss white paint.
I painted the stair well railing in black and white right around christmas time about six months ago.
Try a soft black if you want to bring in a classic look to your home.
Removing carpet staining the steps painting the risers and trim molding and then painting 62 balusters white is so very boring but once you get done.
Things you will need.
1 2 inch paintbrush.
It does not require priming.
Paint all the steps and then wait a few hours for them to dry that depends on the climate.
1 quart high gloss black paint and primer.
The stairs material should be treated differently.
1 package of tack cloth.
1 2 gallon bucket.
2 180 grit and paper blocks with angled edges.
Anyways the best paint for painting railings in my experience is benjamin moore advance.
After the paint is dry enough for you to step on it without smudging it you can paint the remaining stair layer.
The repetitious part of painting staircase balusters not once but 3 times primer and then two coats of paint just about sent me over the edge.
To make sure you re not stepping on the wet stairs you can put some tape to give a sign.
