Painting Stained Trims And Doors

plazaman

Guys im currently bidding on a project where all the window and door casings are stained ( i think also finished with some sort of finish) where the client wants white semi-gloss.

Is scuff sand, bonding primer, and 2 coats of semi gloss my only options for the trim? There is alot of it throughout the house.

its a full repaint job, just the trim im questionable about.

pics attached, some pics looks like it stained alone without any finish.


Thanks

Bonding primer?
Bonding's not the issue
Well...a little
Bleed through is more though

A nice oil will take care of the bonding issues, a nice blocker will take care of the bleed through

Zinsser's Cover Stain, BM's Fresh Start( there are several, get the quick dry oil int.), or SWP's Prep Rite (same, there's a few, get the right one), should do it

I personally like Zinsser's pigmented shellac, which will work (best)
But that's a lot of painting...and that stuff paints like pee...and stinks like...shhhhellac
I'd stick to oils for this one

slick, so its oil prime and my 2 coats? Anywhich way I look its 3 coats

Really no way around it.

Bleed

Yep, Use zinsser`s oil based primer, and hit it up with two coats of semi gloss. I`d spend 1-2 days to mask and protect everything, and spray all 3 coats in 1 day .

Yup

Shellac based primers such as BIN or SW Problock Pigmented Shellac will provide you with a sure fire stain blocker and EXCELLENT adhesion in one coat. Other, lesser quality, primers may require two coats just to block the bleed through. Dont skimp on the primer in this application.....it is the job-maker.

Masterpiece

Likely you already know this, but in case, don't forget the putty/caulking.....

Sand, clean, KoverStain, putty, caulk, two coats paint. Just make sure to use an oil primer...........
