For any new coatings to adhere, what they're applied TO makes all the difference!
Use a narrow scraping putty-knife, and gently scrape loose paint off.
Next...get out the sanding-sponges!
* Start with a 100-grit to sand quickly through all degraded wood/paint.
* When down to a sound wood-layer, sand again with 150-grit, then finish with a 220.
* Remove ALL dust.
NOW you've got a good, sound, smooth surface that will HOLD ONTO new paint!
* Use a top-notch Latex primer applied with a GOOD brush.
* 3 hours later, inspect your primer well. If ya notice any lingering roughness, primer-runs, etc., wait a few more hours so primer will sand well. Use the 220-grit sponge.
* Remove dust and prime again. Inspect smoothness again.
* If smooth, you're ready for TWO full coats of a QUALITY interior Semi-gloss LATEX paint.
* Check out ACE's new Cabinet, Door & Trim paint...this stuff's nice!
* Let paint cure 2 days b4 a load of steam hits it. Full cure takes a month.
Oil paints are irrelevant now, and soon will be extinct. Modern 100% Acrylic-Latex paints are so good now, that oils aren't needed.
