They are timber and previously stained with a very dark brown paint so that they resemble dark mahogany.
Would they need to be sanded down prior to application and would 1 coat be enough?
Hello
Thank you for your email.
The BIN primer/sealer is perfect for the project you are looking to undertake and is our go to primer for the stained wood. One or two coats of the primer should be applied by brush or roller at a coverage rate of approximately 10m2/L/coat, with a re-coat time of 45 minutes. Once this has dried you may apply your choice of decorative top coat, either oil or water based.
We recommend to ensure the surface to be painted is clean, dry, sound and free from any surface contamination such as dirt, oils, grease, mould, mildew, rust, loose or flaking paint etc that are likely to affect the performance of any subsequent coats of paint; to ensure this we advise the following prior to painting, clean down with hot soapy water, rinse with warm water and when dry have a good wipe over with methylated spirits to promote good adhesion.
I hope this helps.
