The Process to Painting your Front Door

1. Preparation:

• Begin by preparing the door surface. Clean the door thoroughly to remove dirt, dust, and any existing paint residue. Sand the surface to create a smooth, paint-ready canvas.

2. Priming:

• Apply a high-quality primer to the door. Primer helps the paint adhere better and ensures a more even finish.

3. Paint Application:

• Apply the paint evenly, starting with the recessed or detailed areas and then moving to the flat sections. Allow each coat to dry thoroughly before applying additional coats.

4. Drying and Curing:

• After the final coat, allow the door to dry completely. Ensure the door is left open slightly while drying to prevent it from sticking to the weather stripping.

5. Reassembly and Cleanup:

• Once the paint is fully dry and cured, reattach the hardware, including knobs, knockers, and any decorative elements.
• Remove the painter's tape and drop cloths, and clean up any paint spills or drips.

It is always advisable to read and follow the instructions provided by the paint manufacturer or seek professionals to take care of the door painting process for you.
