Wood undercoat before satin wood
I have arranged for someone to paint my h/s/l and the ceiling as I have health issues I can’t do it myself. I said do the woodwork myself I can manage that. I have 2 bannisters on my stair one has been up for years and well painted over the other is new and been painted once by my partner, he didn’t use primer and the painter who is coming said I’d be better using it before doing the satin wood. Do I need to undercoat every where doors skirtings etc or just the bannister? And do I sand it down first? Thanks
