1. 0:13–0:23 Sand and Clean Risers From Stair Riser Painting, Step 2: Sand the Stair Risers

   Using P180 sandpaper, sand down all stair risers to create a smooth surface. This removes any imperfections, old paint, or rough spots. After sanding, use a dusting brush to thoroughly brush away all dust particles from the risers and adjacent areas, ensuring a clean surface for paint adhesion.

2. 0:34–0:48 Prime the Risers From Stair Riser Painting, Step 3: Apply Primer

   Starting on the top riser, apply one coat of Dulux Quick Dry Primer & Undercoat using a synthetic brush. Ensure you cover all bare wood areas of the riser completely to provide a uniform base for the topcoat. Once applied, allow the primer to dry for the recommended time of 4-6 hours before proceeding to the next step.

3. 0:48–0:56 Lightly Sand and Clean Primed Surface From Stair Riser Painting, Step 4: Sand Between Coats (Optional)

   After the primer has fully dried (4-6 hours), lightly sand the primed surface using P180 sandpaper or a sanding sponge. This step creates a smoother base for the final paint coats. Once sanded, use the dusting brush to brush away any dust particles generated during sanding, ensuring a perfectly clean surface for the topcoat application.
