Hi Victoria!We aren't the experts on refinishing flooring.If you want to remove paint, sand and stain the pine plank, you need to check the thickness of the plank.You need to apply a coat of paint to reduce the chance of chipping.You can get a better idea from contacting a hardwood refinishing professional.Thank you for stopping by!
We decided to rip up old carpeting from a house that hadn't been touched in over 50 years.We found painted pine plank after 5 layers of carpet, linoleum, and more carpet.We were considering doing what the old timers did and painting.Unless we could stain.How do we get this paint off?A wander didn't do the job.
