HOW DO I PAINT MY DOORS?
• Wedge the door open and remove locks and handles.
• Leave the door frame until last as splashes of paint that get on the frame
will be covered later.
• Paint from the top down in vertical strokes about two foot at a time.
• Join each section with light brush strokes and cross brush to even out the paint.
• When a section is painted lightly brush down over the area in order to keep a wet edge for the next strip to blend into.
• Panelled doors must be painted in sections.
• Panels and mouldings should be painted first followed by the remainder
of the door.
• Use a smaller paint brush for the mouldings.
• Do not over load the paint brush when painting as this will cause runs and
drips to form.
• For glass panelled doors use a paint shield or masking tape to keep paint
off the glass.
• If paint gets on the glass remove immediately with white spirits.
• Apply square sections of Paint working down from the top
• Pick up wet edges for a good blend
• Lay off with light vertical brush strokes
