- 1). Remove the old finish. If the old finish looks particularly thick or you are attempting to remove paint, use paint stripper. Apply a generous coat of paint stripper to the wood window frames and allow it to penetrate. Use steel wool and a putty knife to remove as much paint as possible.
- 2). Sand the frame to remove any remaining paint and also to prep the surface and get it ready for its new finish coat.
- 3). Use damp rags to remove sanding dust and remaining paint stripper from the wood.
- 4). Tape off the walls and window to prevent messes from paint or stain.
- 5). Paint or stain your window frames. If painting, use a good quality brush and apply multiple thin coats. If staining, use a brush or rag to wipe the stain on, using a clean rag to wipe off excess stain.
