HammerSaw horses
Drill driver
HEPA vacuum with dust attachment

1. Remove the door from its hinge pins with the hammer and place it on the saw horses.
2. Remove the hardware from the door and place it somewhere safe.
3. Lightly sand the door with 400 grit sandpaper.
4. Use the vacuum with the dust attachment to clean off the door, then wipe it down with a wet rag.

A velour roller is better than a foam one it leaves fewer stipples and applies the paint a little heavier

@Starry_Night_Sky7455 11 месяцев назад

Super satisfying when you paint a completely new color. Doing this door paint the right way.

@jordanxfile 5 лет назад

I don't like foam rollers; I used them years ago, to paint my bathroom cabinets and despite priming, sanding in between every coat there was an orange peel effect. Instead, I am using velour rollers with a short nap and the woodwork is very smooth. Thank you for the video, I like TOH videos and the crew :)

@cindykincade589 Год назад

"Velour" rollers? 🤔? That's surprising to me because growing up my mother would have us (me and my 4 other siblings) paint each room twice a year. She always said it's "spring cleaning/spruce up time" lol. All of those years painting every room over and over 🤪😶🙄, uhhgg! I'm pretty sure we used every kind of painting tool out there (also my mother was all about reusing the stuff we already had) but it could be I didn't hear of the velour roller because after leaving home I tried to stay as far away as I could from painting! 😂! My mother and father are gone now but don't you know I miss just those 2 people and those kinds of moments so much now. Love you Momma and daddy!

@jordanxfile Год назад

@@cindykincade589 Hello there. Very sorry to hear about your parents. But that is life I guess; mine are gone too. The thing about velour rollers is that they have a short nap, Very similar to microfiber cloths in appearance. They could be named something else in your area. But they sure are superior to foam rollers. On the packaging, you should see that they are suitable for varnish application. Obviously, this is for woodwork. You would not want that degree of perfection on a ceiling or wall, as the paint will be more matte and will not reflect light as much, showing less imperfections or texture.

@PMichaels 6 лет назад

Perfect timing... My black, metal front door needs repainting. 😀 Great video - thanks for posting!

@chavaloworldproductions 5 лет назад

The only places to use a brush is inside the grooves. You need to minimize the brush marks. I use the brush inside grooves then lightly use the roller to get rid of any brush marks. This guarantees you consistency. I would never use a brush to paint panels.

@danwood4942 3 года назад

Agreed. So now the panels will have brush marks and the rest of the door will have a light textured finish. Weird experts giving better info. Specially when you’re using semi gloss or gloss enamel, it is gonna show Everything In a dark color. Brush the grooves and before that dries roll the whole door and make sure it’s not hot out, you want the whole door to stay wet while you paint or it will look horrible. You also want to tape the edges so if any paint runs down you won’t have a mess on the edge. Honestly the best way is to spray it. Make sure u sand and I would primer it before paint, I have seen the paint peel off the hot metal too many times,

@@derekleesmith76what kind of paint would you use? And how do you keep it from peeling off? What are the right steps? Thank you!

@NeilSoulo 11 месяцев назад

So, for how long was the door removed from the house? All that time it was open to let bugs fly or walk in, and the AC or Heating was most likely running. Finally, the door goes back on, so the question is, was the door off long enough that the paint was dry enough so that it did would not stick to the seals? Here, in South Texas, having the door removed for just a few minutes would be long enough to cause some serious bug problems, including scorpions. You should consider making a new video showing suggestions of how to prevent energy loss or bug invasions during the time the door is not in place. Not to mention if the door must be left off overnight.

What about all the bugs flying into your house when the door is off for hours? Here if FL it is too hot to leave a big hole in the house. All the AC goes out. I did mine with the door in place and it came out great.

@RichardGMoss 6 лет назад

Either do it when it's cool or create a temporary covering for the hole.

@cup_and_cone 6 лет назад

I live in Florida. The best answer is just wait until winter when you have a weekend where temps are cooler. The amount of bugs are also significantly less in winter/cooler weather than they are in summer. The last answer is to use house wrap (thin painters drop cloth tends to be too flimsy and stretches) and seal up the opening by taping it around the door frame if the door will be off for an extended period.

@gstrader73 6 лет назад

You are partially right. It didn't have to be taken off, but it wolud need to stay partially open for a few hours to avoid sticking where it makes contact with the weather stripping.

@Engineer9736 6 лет назад

You cannot paint the side of a door that closes against the door sil and then actually close it. It will be glued shut LOL. I’m sure there are at least 20 possible creative ways to close the door opening with something temporary.

Can I use exterior paint for exterior metal door? Thanks.

You can use alkyd (oil based) paint but not latex.

I'm really glad that Mauro is getting more comfortable with the camera, the language barrier is still there tho. I would rather that they allowed him to speak on his native language and dub or subtitle him so he could pour more of his knowledge more easily

Yea, no doubt. He's good guy atw around. Painting or not painting. The lil bit of language barriers he's still got really don't bother me at all, but yea, if letting him speak in native tongue allows him to pour more knowledge I agree, let him speak in the native.
