    I like the picture- thanks Madget.

    Probably a silly question- but did you take the spindles off the stairs or paint in-situ? (Is it even feasible to remove spindles?)

    Thanks, gmgmgm. :)

    No, I did all of the painting in-situ. I'd be very worried about removing the spindles in case of causing damage and weakening. I've never even tried removing them, to be honest. I'd probably only do that if I was going to replace with new ones. Otherwise, I think it would be a complete nightmare. :eek:

    However, I'm no expert on this. Hopefully, someone much more knowledgeable on here than me will be able to advise.

    I'll assume from the lack of responses that you were right to keep them in-situ. As you say, I think it would be a nightmare! Thanks.
