Prep for painting wood work?
I have previously painted satinwood doors and frames, what preparation is required to over paint with eggshell, if any ?
Thank you.

Give the woodwork a light abrade with fine sand paper to key up the wood before painting, then give it two coats of undercover, then you can apply you eggshell.

Light sanding so it gives the paint a key to stick to . Fill any holes blemishes I use car filler it gives it a nice finish but that's my preference it's not for everyone as it goes off quickly. I always under coat then two top coats.
