<p>[QUOTE="KikoBlueEyes, post: 507072, member: 8363"]I hear you. Two coats of paint - especially the old stuff is a daunting task. My living and dining room were never painted so all the trim is the original stained fir. When I tried to remove the paint from the bedroom I found the original stained trim but so many gouges filled with paint and old paint, it was a hopeless task. I did do one door, so its possible. I use citrus stripper and then use a palm sander to get the last layers. You have to be very careful with a pam sander though when using a heavy grit. You can buy veneer to replace if you are handy. It's possible. I used a heat gun to strip the paint from part of the outside of my house, (It was terribly alligatored) but that was just to get a surface to paint.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
