This client’s DIY stain job needed major rehab!
I stripped the old stain, sanded, applied a bonding primer, sanded again, and 2 coats of paint.
Pro tip: If you want the smoothest finish that looks and feels like glass… sanding with 220 grit sandpaper before and after primer is key. It also helps to get the paint to adhere better for a longer lasting finish!
