Paint the sides (edges) first, and make sure to brush any paint that curls around to the faces. This way your finish coat will not be affected by any overlap from the sides.
Have you used thinners in the paint because when I did it the paint had started to dry when I got back to the top and it started to rip when I went over the same paint again.
I have a inside door flat one and some paint is peeling off of it do I sand down it first? It’s by the handle where we must of touch it a lot over time
That looked like a woodgrain effect door, therefore how do you sand off enough of the gloss sheen for the new gloss to bind to? Surely that will chip too easily. Would it not be better to prime with Zinsser, then sand and gloss?
Usually have to thin the paint with flotrol or water so the brush marks don't show. Must be a high quality brush to do it they way he is doing it. Need to sand the interior squares with a sponge sander block to it gets inside the rims. This looks so easy but be warned this little job can be a beating.
If you paint interior doors that still have the factory finish with latex it will peel off easily even with a fingernail. You have to use an oil based primer and then you can paint it with latex. I found out the hard way. Also, It's much easier to take the door off and lay it flat.
Wrong you can paint them with latex and I have done many, it's just a primer coat that any water based top coat will work on but you are right about laying them flat
Just dusting the door after sanding with a brush is not good enough.Give it a wipe with a lint free slightly damped cloth then final wipe with a tac-rag.
nothing wrong with using a proper duster brush like craig's has after sanding down. If you want to go the next step... wet'n'dry sand it.... and you'll wash it down at the same time ;)
Ok here's one you all have forgot...if the door was originally painted with oil based satin wood...then you intend to use water based satin wood...do you still only sand the top layer OR does the door need to be stripped to bare wood as the new paint IS NOT oil based this time??
do edges first. Then on other side of door lay of with a dry brush where paint lips around or rag it of with bit of turps on it. Then roll door with nine inch roller (dont load the roller up to much ) use 2 inch brush to lay of and brush in panel grooves , prob take 5min a side his way prob take 20min a door IF your a painter lol
Rolling doors is very unprofessional and gives an ugly finish. Most high end customers appreciate and prefer the old fashioned brush strokes verse a quick orange peel finish. When you work high end exclusively you can afford to spend time to make your work look professional but if its a cheap job where customes just want paint slapped on then rolling is ok i guess....
You're all wrong, if you want the best finish, spray two coats and sand down between. Far superior and faster than roller or brush across the board. Literally takes 10 minutes to spray a room, in and out quicker and you instantly become available to a bigger market.
i'm about to paint the exact door myself. did u need to sandpaper the corners etc ? i have the door primed ( as i purchased ) still need the handyman to drill holes for me , will painting door first make the hole drilling harder ? just want to save myself some time - the video looks fairly straightforward so yes i will paint it myself lol
TheJANNIWANNI Why did you need the handyman to drill holes for you. I am 14 and can install a door handle. Drilling a hole in a door for a Handel is normally fine. Drilling in walls(especially plasterboard) is dogy because of Wires and Pipes and studs in walls
dude, you should wash the door after sanding! There is a lot of dust left that you dont even see on it but trust me it is still there! Using a TSP or Dirtex water solution will be good idea. Next you can do squares by regular brush but on flat door's surface I would recommend to use a foam roller to make a finish nice and smooth.
Thomas Captain Yes, water based doesn't cover, take about 4 coats for it to look like anything, impossible to rub with sandpaper, especially if it's done in the near future. Oil base covers extremely well and will last a very long time if applied correctly. The guy in the video is doing it all wrong. Do edges first then panels and moulding, top rail, middle and bottom and then styles (the sides) gives a amazing finish and it's how decorators have done for centuries, got no idea the what the joker is doing in the video.
No mask when sanding? I understand it must be difficult to talk with a mask on, but 80 grit will create a lot of dust. Take care of yourself :) I have plenty of sanding to do and am not looking forward to it :)
this wouldn't work for a self painting magical omnipotent super being with unlimited intelligence,which resided inside the Andromeda galaxy,capable of nineteen billion mathematical permutations per second!
This is definitely the wrong way to paint a panel door. I would’ve had that done before you had that 2nd panel started. You roll it quick with a wiz roller to get the paint on quick and back brush it. Done in 2 minutes tops. But first you hit the sides of the door. The way you fling that brush, there will be paint on the ground and ceiling.
Flat paint can be oil or latex. Flat is just the finish. All the finishes come in either paint: oil or water base (latex.) Oil is “generally” a more a durable finish. HOWEVER, check with the paint manufacturer to verify this! Also, if you are applying NEW paint over OLD paint be sure what your old paint is! I can’t remember which is which but there is an issue applying latex over oil or oil over latex. One required an additional step. Sorry I don’t know which.
Absolutlely wash the door after sanding and brushing or blowing off. It has invisible dust, just rub your hand across after blowing and dusting. It's there.
So many negative comments. I need to paint some doors and all of you have me confused. Y’all know all the answers post a video so I can learn. That’s why he is ignoring all of you, way to go.
Fred I took a little tour through your posting history and found out that you think that the preposterously overrated con artist that was Andy Kaufman was a genius, so you are not to be taken seriously.
Fred G. Sanford. Rubbish. The received wisdom is that he sabotaged his career by refusing to compromise, _man_ with the TV execs who'd paid him a fortune. Thus, depriving the world of a maverick talent which was glimpsed by a few lucky theatre goers. At heart he felt he had something to offer. He didn't. His fans are as pretentious as he was.
anthony baglia could you give me advice please ? I can’t tell if my doors have gloss lightly or none at all . I want to paint them . Should I just sand them ? It’s a white flat door , if i do sand them what grit sandpaper do I use ?
AlonSOAMAZING Pleas3 for the love of everything don't use a roller, it does not get into the grain of the wood, it makes the covering of the paint uneven, gives it a horrible finish, will peel off in a matter of months and is a defect called Orange Peel which everyone has forgotten is a defect. If you are refurbishing a door, 180 grade sanding paper, then undercoa, a lot of people say you should use a long free cloth to get rid of remaining dust after with the dusting brush but it's more likely you with put more on but only if you use it too much, the secret is to dust down wait 10 minutes and dust again if it's really bad. When it's dry, the day after tomorrow you really want to leave oil based over night to dry. Then rub it with 180 grade sand paper or (Nibbing Paper) and you really just want to sand the flat areas as if you run rounded areas it may rub back to bare wood, maybe give it a flick over one with the 180, dust and is ready for painting
don't be lazy to take off the door from the frame; this is the only way you can paint the bottom edge, otherwise the guarantee of the door may be voided if the bottom edge is not painted
