Indoor Painting Question
I have some old woodwork in the family home in Harwich that needs some painting / updating. the whole wall that the fireplace is built into is stained and I believe varnished/shellac classic wide pine and trim panels and the baseboard woodwork is just stained, and trim around door is also varnished. My sister is after me to paint it all white. Since I am doing the walls anyways now would be the time. I have done quite a bit of painting in my life and never really was pleased with the results of previous painters so I never tried it myself. It seems it looks ok at first but wears very poorly leading to an ugly mess of peeled paint that is a pain to feather out.
Should I do it and if so any tips in doing this?
Killz first to seal knots I assume?
Should I just hand sand or trust one of the liquid prep products?
Use only oil paint - really latex is made much better these days and IMO oil is not as good.
Thanks!
