TEST YOUR DOOR
You need to know if your door was previously painted with latex or oil paint. Testing is easy. Dip the corner of a rag in rubbing alcohol. Rub on the surface of the door and if any paint comes off, it is latex paint, if no paint comes off, its oil paint. If oil paint was used, or for new unprimed doors, you
will need to apply a bonding primer first.
PREP IT
If your door has latex paint on it, simply clean off any dirt or dust and wipe dry. If mold or mildew is present, remove with retardant solution and let dry thoroughly. If your door has oil paint on it, is a new unprimed door, or if you
are applying a light color over a dark color, prime with a bonding primer first. Open the door and use a chair or
something sturdy securing it from behind to prevent it from moving/swinging while you paint. Lay a dropcloth under the door. Cover anything with the painter’s tape that you think you will have trouble painting around cleanly, remove weather stripping from jam if possible. With the lid tightly in place, shake the jar well and begin.
PAINT IT
Paint the door edge first. The general rule is, when a door is painted different colors on two sides each side
gets a different color. The hinged edge gets the outside color when the door swings in. If the door swings out, it’s the opposite.
If the door already has painted hinges, paint them again. If they are metal, you can leave them as is.
Next, remove or paint around any numbers, windows, or hardware.
If your door has raised panels, paint the reveals first and then the panels.
Paint cross pieces. Paint the rails starting with the top one working down. Paint horizontally, left to right.
The bottom may include weather stripping so try to edge it carefully.
Getting a clean edge if you didn’t tape:
lightly load the brush with paint and lay it crosswise at the edge patting the edge lightly. This will give a natural edge to the door. Then paint a vertical stroke to smooth out the paint surface.
Lastly, paint the stiles (verticals). Make the final brush strokes on the two side stiles go from top to bottom
in one stroke.
Wait an hour and then repeat the process. Three coats may be necessary if you are applying a light color over a dark color. You will have enough paint!
Leave your door open for at least 2-3 hours to dry. Remove any tape.
