ABN Painting: I think this is awesome of you to post a how to video AND follow it through with answering questions the viewers have! It's all a learning experience for me, as some of the questions I wouldn't even know to ask. Thank you!
I work for a known company out here in Phoenix I gotta say u guys do everything how you are supposed to keep up the good and honest work of true painters
Good job. I appreciate you telling of the materials and especially that handle attachment..that is going to help me this summer to paint my exterior doors. Thank you!
Excellent video. Simple, clear step by step process and great results. I can now go and paint that door ai need to paint. Thank you for the video!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Great vdo!!! Thank you so so much! Should have way more likes then what is shown, matter of fact it baffles me how anyone can dislike a vdo like this! Awesome job guys! Keep em coming!!
Thanks for the video. I just did mine with a electric sprayer. I used Cover Stain and a Urethane Trim Enamel. It looks great but I'm wondering if I should add another coat?
If you buy not enough you will have to run to home depot in the middle of the project. if you buy too many you can always return them in no hurry when you finish painting. @@leny7829
All depends on how much rust you have. if you have a lot of rust primer by itself will always work much better. If a little bit of rust you may not need to prime. Oil base paint should cover minor rust just fine.
I want to buy a new metal door like the one on video. I would like to paint it blue, it comes in white and black. I should buy the door in white it looks like it has a bit of sheen, shine on it. Do I primer it first?
we don't paint a lot of metal doors, but i think if it is just a little bit of sheen should be ok without primer. without looking at the door can't tell you for sure.
Hi, my front metal door is color black, do I have to use the primer (1st can that you use) or just go with the 4 cans of color black. Thanks in advance
Great Vid! We have been trying to paint our screen fence. The paint keeps "clogging" the holes. Is it the paint? Or my technique? I am using Krylon paint. Thanks!!
I never used Krylon paint. So can not tell if the issue is the paint or technique. I have been using Rustoleum to paint screen doors for many years and never had this problem. Regarding technique i can give one advice. Don't try to cover all with one coat. Apply thin and multiple coats instead. Give enough time to dry between coats. Hope that helps.
I have some louvered metal closet doors I am going to paint and some of the slats have tiny pin points of rust. Should I sand them and prime them or is the paint sufficient? Thanks .
It usually takes about 2-3 hours. We do not bid on doors as a stand-alone project. We only bid on complete re-paints of exteriors. Painting this door was recorded as the last step of painting entire house.
Any chance this exact method could be used on a regular old entry door. If so, what kind of spray paint could possibly be used, for a nice glossy finish.. I cannot afford to hire a spray machine, so if it’s possible to use spray can paint that would be great
This is the link to the paint we usually use for metal doors. It should work well for most other surfaces. If you look somewhere on the can it will tell you which surfaces it is good for. We have used it on non-metal doors and never had any problems. I would recommend satin finish for an old door. If it is too glossy will be very hard to hide imperfections. tinyurl.com/y72lt2k6
My door is black so I want to paint it. I check on amazon but I saw so many kind (Satin Canyon Black, Flat Black Primer, Satin Espresso...). Can you tell me what kind of paint I can buy. Thank you
We usually use Rustoleum painters touch 2x. Satin finish. here is the link www.homedepot.com/p/Rust-Oleum-Painter-s-Touch-2X-12-oz-Satin-Canyon-Black-General-Purpose-Spray-Paint-346951/307244864
Sorry Lydia, never had to clean clogged holes in the metal door. Other than poking each hole with a sharp object, or using paint stripper/remover to remove paint and re-paint again after, can’t think of a solution. May be another viewer will reply to you eventually with better ideas.
You may have to wire brush the screen to clear the holes. This will most likely require another coat of spray pain,only, with the recoat, apply thin coats to the screen material. The hole clogging comes from thoo much paint being applied at one time. Better 2 to 3 thin coats than one thick one, since tninner coats will dry more uniformly as well as reducing any missed spots. Good luck.@@ABNPainting
