Hi all,
The base boards along my staircase had a fair amount of loose paint which I scraped off. So of course, at the point where I stop, there is a line between the area I scraped and the area I didn’t.
I sanded along these lines to try to make them a smooth as possible before I repainted. I am attaching a picture of one that hasn’t been repainted and one that has. I’m wondering if there is a better way to try to smooth out these lines before I paint the rest of them.
Note that I had only put one coat of new paint on the “after” picture, and I am sure at least the overall color would be more consistent once I do a second coat, but I imagine the line will still be fairly visible.
Any advice would be much appreciated. Walking up the stairs, it doesn’t really jump out at you, but of course, it bugs me a little bit because I know it’s there.
