All done!

We sprayed the entire railing in only 3 hours! I highly recommend the paint sprayer attachment to anyone with an air compressor. I had attempted to do the bottom rails the week before Wren was born using a small brush to get in all the nooks and crannies but after 3 coats it was still looking splotchy and uneven which had me worried that it would be an endless task to finish off.

We are considering painting the hand rail and posts a darker color while leaving the rails white, but for now we are just happy that oak color is gone!

Looks great. But I'm SO confused how you sprayed the rail and didn't get paint anywhere. I'd love to know! :)

Wow! It looks great!

I'm with all the commenters - how do you keep it off everything around it?

Hubs has a sprayer and I've never thought to use it, it would have probably made painting the dining set a LOT easier. =/
