Hi All,

I am in the process of refurbing my balustrade, and want to paint the newel posts with an oil-based enamel. Our posts are much like the one in the attached picture.

Will they be difficult to paint with a brush? Should I consider using a HVLP gun to spray them with?

I have a 3Hp compressor, which should cope with a spray gun, and mess from overspray is not an issue at the moment.

Thanks,
Jonty
