Re: [a/s] Interior Paint



I have...and my best advise is to completely and absolute 'degrease' the 
surfaces first.  Lightly sand whereever it is very slick...
Then paint with a very good B.I.N. primer. (no need to sand twice)
Then use the top paint in your colour choice...but ONLY use an oil based 
paint...do not use a latex...it's too easy to rub-off when wiping down.
It is really BEST NOT to USE A BRUSH!!! especially with all the curved 
areas....you will NOT be able to hind the brush strokes.  Better to 
completely tape everything and drap everything else with drop cloths...and 
get a professional sprayer (rent it...or do like I did and hire a prof. 
painter to do it...just provide him with the paint of your choice)...an spray 
the surfaces lightly twice to cover.  Mine is absolutely gorgeous!!!  Looks 
like it came that way!  And I can wash it till the cows come home!!  Good 
luck.........cc
