Badly Chipped Paintwork

The secret to a top-quality finish is to take time in the preparation. This staircase was very badly chipped but all it took to get the finish you see was to sand smooth, wash down, apply a coat of Zinsser Bullseye 1-2-3 primer™ or Zinsser Allcoat Multi-Surface Primer and Finish, apply acrylic filler, smooth out and paint with gloss paint.

It was repaired using exactly the same method as above

These Victorian concertina window-shutters were badly damaged from the sun. They were repaired as follows:

1. They were sanded back to a sound surface.

2.      Acrylic filler was applied and smoothed - with a wet finger on rounded
         surfaces, and with a wet filler-knife on flat surfaces. This evens out any
         dips and hollows.

3. Zinsser Bullseye 1-2 3™ primer was applied

4. A finish coat of oil-based paint brought them back almost as good as new!
