The hardest part was taping and sealing off the trim around the door.
Can you spray paint wood doors.
I worry about tops and bottoms on exterior doors.
I opted to remove the door just easier to paint that way and opted to spray paint since my door has a lot of raised panels to paint around.
Then you can stand in one spot and rotate the door to paint each side.
Don t backroll the primer.
Highly recommend going this route if you have a bunch of doors to paint.
You can spray 2 coats of primer if it ll make you feel better.
I needed to start with spray painting the trim before i removed the door.
Whereas painting with a brush can result in drips and brush marks spray paint can give you a near perfect look.
The painting technique is very similar to the same way i ve always used a can of spray paint.
Spray painting is an easy way of achieving a smooth even finish on wood furniture this is especially true of items that have intricate designs.
Set the doors on a turntable when spray painting.
Start your spray slightly off the top of the door and while the paint is spraying move the sprayer in even up and down motions top to bottom.
I usually take doors off stand vertically in a zigzag pattern screw a 2x2 or 2x4 or what ever scrap piece s across top of all doors to stabilize.
I d love to update it with fresh paint and new hardware but i ve heard that you can t get good results painting over stain.
This allows you access to all sides.
The absolute best way to paint a door is with real paint through a real paint sprayer but i know this is hard for a diy er to do.
My childhood dresser is beautiful but the wood stain looks faded.
Once the doors were dry it was time to add the new hinges and knobs and rehang the doors.
Keep the nozzle 10 to 12 in.
