And, it is so often just personal preference. Personally, I don’t like the heavy grain of oak, so if I had something in oak, like trim, I would want to paint over it because ti’s MY house and I want to LOVE it. Do what’s best for you!

If the house was built in the 80s or later, natural wood usually looks bad. It makes the rooms look dark and dated. White trim looks much better and sells faster. Now if the house is 30s or something, then yeah it may make sense to avoid painting it.

It repairs the finish by replacing the oil and eliminating the scratches, white rings and faded out areas without color. No sanding …no restaining. Its made in Oklahoma. Where I live too. They have been in business for over 30 years. Its a product that really works. You can buy it in stores in Tulsa but I order online and they send it right to me.

I think they only have polyurethane …the parts that are fully faded are clear wood, the parts that are still fading have white flakes and when I wipe out the flakes it becomes clear wood…I hope I’m making sense. I’m really new at this so I appreciate your help. I can send you a picture of what I’m taking about if the description is not clear.

Just make sure to match a filler to the stain so that it blends nicely. The problem with scratches is that you will always see the repair, but it will look better to build it back up to the original surface height.
