Faldo's DIY General thread

That’s for sure boss.

@Corksfinedtboy my man, can you recommend a product to spray paint a stainless steel gas fire surround. Surround can be easily removed. We inherited the Gas Fire when we bought the house and it’s brutal looking but fire is newish and very good so don’t want to replace it.

Main thing is a proper primer
And ref heat you’ll need at lest 2 coats of primer,
Let it dry properly in between coats

We’ve used similar in pharma

But being honest u can paint anything with anything once primed properly

@Corksfinedtboy another one for you…

I’ll be painting the timber staircase over the Christmas. It’s a varnished pine job, no risers.

The colour I’ll use is off-white.

Sand it down first?
Prime?
Two top coats, light sand in between?

Any particular recommendation on paint type for hard wearing exposure?

Looking to balance effort/finish :wink:

I’d leave that job wait. Have done it. Frustratingly slow and repetitive.

Under coat until the dark shadow is gone,

Ohhh Fc sorry I didn’t read that correctly

Same method but I’d use oil based instead of water based
Especially if heavy traffic areas
