- 1). Brush on paint stripper. After putting on rubber gloves, going in one direction, brush on a thick coat of paint stripper. Allow it to sit on the paint according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- 2). Scrape away the old paint. Using a plastic putty knife, scrape away old paint layers until it doesn't come off any longer. Remove the remaining paint with a stiff-bristle hand brush.
- 3). Wipe it down. Once you strip off all the layers of paint, wipe off any residual paint stripper. Allow the wood to dry for at least 24 hours.
- 4). Rub on the stain. Wipe off the excess and continue rubbing on and wiping off stain until you achieve your desired look. Allow the stain to dry for at least one day.
- 5). Apply three coats of tung oil. Using a clean, soft rag, rub tung oil into the wood trim. This not only protects the wood trim, but restores the wood to its original natural luster and shine.
