Every now and again, the front door needs a little TLC, but if it’s been a bit longer, then it might need a bit more elbow grease and effort.
Front door sanded prepared for painting.
The door in this case was a brown varnished door where the varnish was peeling and weathering, the end goal was to have a coloured door.
The first job was to prepared the surface of the door, this was started by removing the door furniture and filling and holes or major imperfections with a good quality filler. The door could then be sanded thoroughly to create a smooth surface and provide a key for the paint.
The door was then ready for 2 coats of white undercoat, allowing sufficient time for drying between coats and sanding out any imperfections or any lifted grain.
