How to Paint Stairway Risers

1. 4:05–5:04 Apply First Primer Coat (Rolling) From Stair Riser Painting, Step 3: Apply Primer

   After cutting in the edges, switch to a 4-inch foam roller to apply the first coat of Zinsser BIN Primer to the broader, flat surfaces of the stair risers. The foam roller helps achieve a smoother finish compared to woven rollers, which can leave a textured 'stipple' effect. Roll the primer on evenly, ensuring good coverage over the entire surface. This coat will likely still appear somewhat light and streaky due to the nature of the primer, but it provides an essential bonding layer for subsequent coats.
