If you want to beautify the front of your house, you can paint the door to make it fresher and attractive for the visitors. You can paint any type of front door including wood, fiberglass, steel, and most of the exterior doors are sold unpainted with the expectation that the buyer will paint it according to their choice. To obtain the lost lasting paint result, you have to clean, patched, primed, and then clean the entire surface. Remove the door from hinges and paint it flat on the sawhorses. Remove the door would make you able to hinge side and bottom sides of the door plus painting horizontally will give excellent results by eliminating all drips. After removing the front door from its hinges, you have to remove the items from the door that shouldn’t need to paint like doorknobs, bolts, tools, hooks, and all other products. Store all items in plastic bags. All elements that might not be able to remove like inset glass should covered with the Painter’s tape.
Clean the door thoroughly by squeezing out the rag and wiping down the door and let the door dry before proceeding. if there is any small hole in your door then you have to use a putty knife and wood filler for patching them but if the door is in perfect condition you only require to gently sand it to implement a rough covering for the paint to stick. Any packed areas need to be sanded smooth. Remove the dust and prime the door. Apply primer and then apply a second coat to cover some thin sections and use a paintbrush for painting the entire door. Multiple thin coats are ever more beneficial than thick coats and when it gets completely dried,re-hang the door back into place. Comments are closed.
