In this DIY painting project, I took on the challenge of using exterior satin paint, Zinsser Allcoat, indoors to transform the look of my stairs, doors, and skirting boards. I documented every step of this unconventional endeavor to share my experience and results.
To ensure a smooth finish, I began by preparing the surfaces meticulously. Using 150-grit sandpaper and specialized Mirka soft sanding pads, I sanded down the surfaces, including the intricate stair spindles and balustrade, to create a suitable key for the paint. Afterward, I used tack cloths to meticulously remove all dust, ensuring a clean surface.
For added protection and to prevent any knots from bleeding through the topcoats, I applied a high adhesion primer, Zinsser Coverstain, which I thinned down by 10%. This primer was expertly sprayed using my Graco HVLP professional sprayer, specifically on the stairs that had wood varnish.
Once primed, I denibbed the stairs with 240-grit Mirka soft sanding pads and proceeded to apply multiple coats of the diluted Zinsser Allcoat, with up to four coats on the skirting boards. Throughout the process, I fine-tuned the spray gun settings to prevent any unsightly runs.
After two coats of Allcoat on the stairs and up to four on the skirting boards, I achieved a finish that exceeded my expectations. Join me in this video to witness the remarkable transformation of my interiors with the unexpected use of exterior paint
