I am planning on doing some touch ups to the finish in our home…first off I have a couple rooms which were painted with BJ eggshell finish paint high hide(latex) over an old oil paint ( I didn’t do it). Unfortunately the latex is chipping away in places. I would like to repaint the rooms entirely. What preparation should I do to the walls to ensure a better adhesion with the new paint and what type paint would you recommend.
Second, there are dark stained baseboards and casings in a room which are marked up from years of wear and tear. Without having to go to the expense of replacing or repainting, I would like to know whether a light sanding and restaining with a regular stain of the same colour would brighten them up.
Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
