Front Door Paint
Front door paint jobs can add a lot of value. The front door is the best way to add curb appeal. You can add a little style, go outside the box and show personality. Here’s how to get the job done quickly and easily.
Front Door Paint STEP 1:
Preparing Your Door
It is not absolutely necessary to remove the door completely from the hinges. If you don’t remove your door before applying a front door paint job make sure to tape off and cover any exposed hardware or windows.
Front Door Paint STEP 2:
Application
Use a brush to cut in around taped and inlaid areas, and a roller for the rest of the surface.
Brush with the grain. If the door is metal or fiberglass, go in the direction that would be on a wood door, to create a natural look.
Refer to the product label, Technical Data Sheet (TDS) and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed safety and application instructions.
Front Door Paint STEP 3:
Filling and Refining
If you have a flat, one-panel door, you can roll the paint directly on the surface.
If it’s a paneled door, first use a brush to paint the inlaid areas, then use a roller on the flat, outer sections.
Leave your door open until the paint is dry. The label on your paint can will give you an idea of how much dry time is required.
Front Door Paint STEP 4:
Remove Tape and Enjoy
Now, you can remove any tape or protective coverings and enjoy your freshly painted door.
