Painting your banisters and spindles
You’ve prepped and you’ve primed - let’s paint!
As mentioned, banisters are a high-traffic area; as such, we’d recommend using a gloss paint, such as Farrow and Ball Full Gloss. It’s both washable and wipeable - making it easier to look fresher for longer.
With its ultra high gloss finish, at 95% sheen level, Farrow and Ball Full Gloss provides a glamorous, high shine finish for interior and exterior wood and metal that’s durable and versatile, resisting water, flaking, peeling and fading for up to 6 years.
The best part?
It’s available in 148 colours, meaning your banisters don’t have to be boring - you can paint them any colour! (But don’t fear, they Full Gloss comes in white too!)
Using a smaller brush, begin painting in even strokes. Farrow and Ball Full Gloss requires four hours drying time between coats, and for the best finish, you should apply two coats.
If you’re painting with a darker colour, a third coat may be required.
