Hello everyone,

we are currently renovating a house and now it’s time to paint.
Unfortunately, no one in my circle of acquaintances can help me with this.

Specifically, it’s about the staircase.
It is still the construction staircase and now it should be painted.
What is the best type of paint to use?
First, clean it from dirt and sand it roughly?
Is a primer necessary then?

Thanks in advance for the answers

No rust. You only see the rust protection. This is how the staircase was installed 2 months ago.

Then it is primed. The rust protection is the primer. An alkyd resin varnish, glossy or matte as desired, finished.

Are you renovating a new building???

We also have a steel stringer staircase. The rust protection is the primer.
Buy yourself a nice paint for metal and off you go

I see this question more in the subforum Painting/Staircase

Why should we renovate a new building? The house is from 1965 and the staircase has now been renewed.

That's perfect. Then you don't have to prime again. Fine sanding will still be best, right?

I don't see why you should sand a primer.
Ultimately, it's a stupid step. Anyway: we skipped it, and the paint holds.
Even after 5 years.
