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.
It’s about the staircase. It’s still the original construction staircase, and now it needs to be painted. What type of paint is best to use? Should it be cleaned of dirt first and roughly sanded? Is a primer necessary?
Thanks in advance for your answers.

I don't really see a reason to sand a primer.
Ultimately, it's an unnecessary step. Anyway, we skipped it, and the paint still holds up.
Even after 5 years Thanks for the reply.
I've read that many people do it because it helps the paint adhere better.
I will ask at the specialty store.

No need to sand. It just has to be degreased. Wipe it down with nitro thinner or denatured alcohol before painting. Acetone works too, but it’s actually overkill in this case. Mask the steps carefully, use a small short-pile roller (like a teddy roller), and paint corners with a small brush. K.
