How to gloss paint over stained wood.?

The wood banister and skirting boards in my hall have all been stained a very dark brown. When we bought the house we painted over with white gloss but it just keeps chipping.


Anyone know how to stop this happening, is their anything i can use to treat the wood before i paint over it.?How to gloss paint over stained wood.?
Your banister and risers had a urethane on it to protect it. This SHOULD HAVE been scuffed up with a 150 gritt sandpaper 1st. Now I suggest using 100 gritt paper and sand the chipped areas good or even try scraping and lightly sand the rest, next prime bare areas with a Zinseer product called ';cover stain'; which is an excellent bond coat which should have been your second step. Now paint with 100% acrylic paint and there's no guarantee this will solve it, sorry but by not doing it right the 1st time it's a hit or miss. If you think this is a pain you really should strip it an start all over!!! good luckHow to gloss paint over stained wood.?
Sand paper it down to a rough surface,undercoat light sanding then gloss.light sanding then gloss again allow to dry in between coats.
Try using an undercoat first this will give the gloss a base to adhere to and should stop the chipping.
Unfortunately its sanding time- get it down/off as much as possible, then add a coating of liquid sandpaper- available in home depot,lowes etc. It looks like water- low order- you wipe it on an let it dry. Great Stuff. It forms a chemical adhesion between the stain anfd the paint- or two kinds of paint-etc. Between that and the tooth you will get from the sanding, you dshould do great. Your problem is one of two different substances not bonding- that won't stop-sorry,just correct it- you use the stair too much not to! Good luck! PS maybe use an oil painrt on the banister too- tougher....
Firstly you'll need to scratch the surface of the wood to enable paint to key onto the surface a light abrasive such as steel wool will do the trick. then you need undercoat for wood apply a coat of that and let it dry flatten with fine sand paper and finish with an oil based gloss hey presto done!
You're not going to like this, give them a light sand with some 80 grit paper, then primer, under coat then top coat. Lot of elbow grease involved sorry
not sure how to stop chipping but i know you always have to put undercoat paint on before gloss try sanding down the old paint then put on undercoat paint and then gloss
Chances are they used oil based polyurethane, so you need to sand the wood very well, then prime it very good then put your top coat on. For best result strip the rest of the paint off and sand very good then prime with oil based paint, then put latex on top of that.
