[quote=Anonymous]4 hour job and $80 are both funny. It’s all about how to prep and doing it right. The last few posts on page 1 covered it. Oil base primer or shellac if spraying are the only way to go if the spindles are stained. If they have been previously painted and there are any signs of chipping I’d also use oil base primer. If they are stained, tsp works as a cleaner or a deglosser works to clean and dull the protective polyurethane coat. After a wipe down it must be sanded (100, 150 grit) in all the grooves as well. Since it’s being painted, you only have to sand off the shine of the poly. When restaining, all the stain must be sanded out more than doubling prep time. All about that prep. Also try a mini roller for the spindles. Purdy ultra smooth 4 or 6 inch. Do 4 at a time, then switch to the other side and hit that side then back to original side to look for runs. Start 4 more etc. Afterwards use a small brush to get the base and the top where it hits the railing. [/quote]
