Hi Shibo.. Thanks for comment,,, I stripped it all back, as previous owner had put emulsion paint on it!! which doesnt really stay on wood.. it was peeling off just with your finger nail.. so wasnt difficult to get it off, and then put 2 coats of undercoat paint for wood,, then 2 top coats of Satin wood, not the gloss!! too shiny. now in future I can just rub down a little and just put on more satin wood, no need to put undercoat on again.. good luck. easy to pick up points just google it. :)
