Scrub with a good grease cutting cleaner,dry well, sand (just lite buffing)then a good grade primer,i would use an oil base all the way. Let dry at least 24 hours,and do not do if humid weather outside,as it does make a difference. When that is cured,you can paint with a semi gloss bright white. Good luck,you will be surprise how it livens up your decor,especially against a neutral color,very classy👍
Use Citristrip a safe non-toxic remover ,clean and allow to dry before you paint
Agree with Tilly. You can also put liquid sander over it after you have cleaned it well, then proceed with your primer and paint.
Easy Peasy - Use TSP found in the paint department. Wash the molding well with it. NO need to sand after. Paint with a good quality paint that has a primer in it to make sure the stain does not bleed through.
I just changed my wood from dark brown to very light gray. I sprayed with household bleach. Waited ten minutes, then rinsed with water. Actually bleached the wood to natural wood. Some places after drying required second bleaching. I waited until I knew the wood was dry then used a solid stain that has a primer/sealer/stain all in one. LOVE THE LOOK.
