The Process of painting wooden door:

So, you need to follow three important steps to paint your wooden doors. Those are:

Step-1:

First of all, you should start by removing the door from the frame and disengage all the furniture beside it even the locks and handles of the door. Then you should wash the door with soap and water because the paint won’t stick completely on a dirty surface. So you have to clean it properly with sandpaper so that it seems as fresh as new. For a more formal look, you can choose a light colour for your door or for a classic look you can choose any colourful paint. It totally depends on you. I will obviously prefer a bright colour for my front door, it makes feel welcome to all who enter your home. 

     

Step-2: 

Has the primer tinted, based on the colour of your paint? Apply the wood primer with a synthetic brush and leave it to dry for a few hours. Make sure the primer is worked well into the woodgrain and fill all knots thoroughly. Rub the door down with sandpaper, when the primer has dried. Then use the brush and rollers to paint both sides of the door perfectly and leave it to dry for four/five hours and apply to the second coat. Basically, rollers lay on paint much faster than a brush, so use whatever you  If you’ll still be able to see the grain after two coats so it will need a third one for the perfect colour.

Step-3:

The last step is to finish the makeover. Usually, when the paint no longer feels sticky to the touch, the hardware (handles, knockers, mailboxes, etc.) of the door can be reinstalled. You can also colour the handles, knockers, mailboxes and so on if you want.

To paint a door, no expertise or previous skill is not mandatory or required. Because it’s a damn/very easy DIY concept. So, guys, I hope this instruction will be effective for you all. Let me know your opinion in the comments section! Thanks for being with us!
