How Do I Paint A Previously Glossed Interior Wood Surface?
Painting over gloss paint on doors, windows and skirtings isn’t difficult, but it does require some time to produce a clean and consistent finish. Start by lightly sanding the gloss paint and then cleaning the surface so you can remove the glossy surface that makes it difficult for paint to adhere to. Then, apply a base coat of Tikkurila's Otex Akva or Otex Adhesion Primer to help your paint stick to the surface.
Topcoat Options
- Everal Aqua 10, Everal Aqua 40 or Everal Aqua 80, depending on the sheen level required
- Helmi 10, Helmi 30 or Helmi 80, depending on the sheen level required
- Akvi Top DS25
Use at least 2 coats of paint, and allow each coat to fully dry in between applications.
