ᐅ How to Paint a Steel Staircase Yourself?

Hello everyone,

we are currently building and have two nice steel staircases, see photo, which I want to paint myself to save costs. They are already primed, I will clean them as well, but I am still unsure whether to apply the paint traditionally with a roller and brush or rather use a spray system.

Regarding roller and brush, I am worried that it might take forever, result in uneven coverage, and that drips or brush hairs could be visible in the paint. Therefore, I was hoping that spraying might work better. Is it possible to do this with an affordable device, like the Wagner W125 for €65? I would cover the area extensively with plastic sheeting, watch some YouTube tutorials, and then go for it 🙂 Unfortunately, many parts of the staircase are quite thin, so when spraying, probably half of the paint ends up on the plastic sheeting.

Do you have practical experience with this?

Thanks & best regards

Do you have any recommendations for good products (paint, rollers, brushes)?
