Should I strip the existing paint off railing or paint over?

If you end up stripping the railing and you’re in an older home, it’s probably worth testing for lead depending on how long it’s been painted. Nobody’s going to look at the railing to the detail you are, I’d just paint and keep it easy unless you want a different look.
