I need help figuring out what to do with my front porch railings. We painted the posts and hand rail blue to match the door(over the old beige paint that had been there for 20 years). It was not great. This summer I thought I would strip the blue paint and stain them. It’s been brutal, I did not think it through.

I have most of the paint off but there are so many creases on the posts it’s been horrible trying to sand them to get the little bits of blue and beige still on them.

Suffice it to say, I now give up. I just want to paint the railings and be done with it (as it’s now October) but not sure what colour will work. I’m planning on leaving off the rounded ball toppers and just getting simple post caps as well for the posts.

This is where I need help. What colour is best? Please? I’m clueless with this stuff.

Appreciate any help!
