Advice requested: painting interior (PVC?) handrail
Hi folks! Looking for advice/suggestions/folks who may have done the same thing. We have one very long, winding interior handrail spanning several floors (center of a townhouse), and it's a rough vintage yellow-y shade with metal spindles. We're fairly certain it's PVC and feels an awful lot like exterior vinyl handrails. A few images that look like ours in material: 1 2 We've already assumed it'd have to be some kind of liquid paint (a spray would probably be too messy considering it's a home interior), but we're stumped because it's definitely a high-traffic surface and might need some kind of sealer? Thinking maybe some kind of primer like this? Rustoleum seems to have a vinyl spray paint but can't find it anywhere quart-style, and hoping to avoid messing around with a spray paint to go up the height of our house! Did a mountain of google searches and only really found a few decade-old forum posts from folks with the same problem who never really found solutions! Really hoping we can avoid just replacing it all with new material. Any suggestions at all would be so appreciated, thanks for reading! submitted by /u/kynalina [link] [comments]
