Are you looking to enhance your home's curb appeal without breaking the bank? One simple yet effective way to achieve this is by painting your front door. Follow these easy steps to revamp your door and elevate your home's exterior aesthetic.
What You’ll Need
Steps
Step #1: Tape or Remove Hardware
Start by removing or taping off all hardware on the door to ensure a clean and professional finish.
Step #2: Clean Thoroughly
Use TSP Plus to remove any dirt or grime from the surface of the door. Rinse well to ensure a clean canvas for painting.
Step #3: Sand and Wipe Clean
Lightly sand the entire door with 120-grit sandpaper to create a smooth surface for painting. Wipe away any debris or dust to ensure the door is clean, dry, and dull.
Step #4: Prime Your Door
Apply a coat of BeautiTone STICK-iT primer or an oil primer if your door is made of wood. Allow the primer to dry for 24 hours to ensure proper adhesion and durability.
Step #5: Choose Your Colour
Choose a BeautiTone 100% Acrylic Trim and Door paint colour.
Step #7: Apply Additional Coats as Needed
Apply a second thin coat of paint to your door. For darker colours, you may need to apply a third coat. Take your time and ensure each coat is applied evenly for professional-looking results.
Step #8: Project Complete
Once additional coats are dry, your door makeover is complete. Step back and admire the transformation!
