Peace Painting Co., Inc. on Dec 24, 2012The right cleaning, sanding and priming are especially important when it comes to painting over stained woodwork. You are not alone. Failure occurs more times than not. I would sand the knob parts down and start over with an oil primer on the bare areas. Also, using an oil-base finish coat enamel will hold up to continued hand use. Have you thought about painting them black?Helpful Reply

Louise on Dec 24, 2012A friend painted hers black and they're gorgeous. But my new color is going to be a deep red. Not bright red, but deep and luscious. Or, I hope it's going to be luscious. :-) I'll post before and after photos when I get finished. I have some oil primer, so I'll try that on the bare parts. As to the oil-base finish coat enamel, would that be clear or my red? I really hate oil paint because it dries so slowly and I have a hard enough time keeping my cat and 3 dogs away from wet paint.Helpful Reply
