👍👍👊
@@creativecrambo it was a joy watching you get the work done. and the finished work looks outstanding. I'm a house painter by trade. but never saw such a transformation on a front door..a new door costs crazy money. I certainly won't be buying a new one.just to change from plain white. Great work.
@@Elephant1976
Thanks man 👊 Yeah I'm not a pro like yourself mate but I've worked alongside some very good painters and watched how they do there craft I'm a quick learner so it stays in the memory bank
Yeah must admit I don't think any pro would have got the finish I did on that door not been big headed like it just turned out really good 👍
Thank you for the kind words mate and all the best to you appreciate your feedback and happy painting mate 👍 👊
@@creativecrambo I love taking a space. or indeed a piece of old furniture and bringing it up as new.we unfortunately live in a throw it away generation.the compliment is well deserved.outstanding work.and looking forward to seeing future projects of yours.. I don't know about the word Pro.just get of bed every day and look forward to the work. do my best and keep learning.. your doing work I know alot of very advanced painters aren't doing.. keep up the great work.and thanks for video channel.✌
did you find the paint adhered better to the outside than inside of the door, i would also expect the paint to last longer on the outside as the sun would have taken off a lot of the paint repelling plastic gloss of uPVC and allow better bonding ?
Hop clang:
Thanks for watching 👍
That's a good question, I didn't find any difference when painting the inside and outside, there must be some truth on what you've asked , but all I did was prep up both sides the same and the paint seemed to go on just the same, thanks for the feedback though 👍👍.
Hi mate just the video guide I was looking for. I am looking at doing the inside of some windows. My question is would you recommend removing any previous sealant first, paint the window frames and sills and reseal. I know a lot of paints do not like to adhere to some sealants. Does the Frenchic paint go onto sealant OK if I just need to paint over it ?
Jason Doogue, thanks for watching mate 👍👍 the Frenchic paint is superb I think you will be ok to go over the silicone I've used it on leather and worked out a treat no cracks or peeling the paint is great and my experience with the paint has been every time it delivers, the paint is quite thick so if you're doing it, put it on thinly build up the layers , I'm so pleased my vid was some help to you in some way, I'd say definitely just go for it mate , I'm so pleased I done mine you won't be disappointed in doing yours to , feel free to check out the link in the description from a journalist from the sun who picked up on how people are saving thousands of pounds painting there doors and windows my door features in the article plus another chap painting windows, thanks for your feedback and hope yours turns out really good 👍👍👍.
@@creativecrambo hi,i was just wondering what exactly it was that was leather, that you painted?seems this paint will pretty much bond to anything by what you're saying?you seem to have given lots of us the confidence to try this ourselves, thanks! 😁
@@missg3188 thank you for watching 👍👍 the leather thing I painted was a leather ottoman and definitely worth checking that vid out , yeah the paint is great and can be used on alot of surfaces inside and out , 💯 give it a go miss G you won't be disappointed the paint comes in loads of colours to , thanks for stopping by the vid I really appreciate it alot and good luck with your project 👍👍.
That's a nice flat matt finish. How does this paint stand up to abrasion, has any wore off?
JayG2k:
Thanks for watching 👍
The paint is very good indeed, giving the right drying time the paint is very durable to wear and tear, I've had no problems with it , and the door still looks as new from when I first done it 👍.
brilliant paint.
Thanks for stopping by the vid phil nice one mate 👍
Yeah it definitely is mate I've done quite afew vids using the Frenchic alfresco paint it just don't let you down every time I've just subscribed to your channel mate its always handy to pick up some good painting tips 👌 👊
@@creativecrambo you came up as a recommended vid... And I love uPVC painting vids and Frenchic is awesome. If you've not already.. watch my scratch test vid on Frenchic, Bedec and AllCoat.
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator yeah I'll definitely check it out mate 💯👍keep up the good work
What did you use to spray your door handle with please. Door looks class also.
Michaela Baxter:
Thanks for watching 👍
And yeah the door does look class I was well pleased with the results, thanks very much for that comment 👍
The spray paint for the handle was from the Rust - olEum range, enamel chrome silver, but any high quality decorative metallic spray paint will do the job all depending on your handle you might have to give it a primer before you spray or theres multi purpose sprays out there all depends on what your looking for 👍.
Great video, thank you! How did the paint work hold up on your upvc door after three years please?
Thanks for asking and thanks for watching to, nice one 👌👍yeah it's holding up just great still looks new , sorry for late reply 🤦♂️ I see your comment a week ago and only catching up now 👍👊
Thanks for the video! I will be giving this a go. What spray paint did you use for the door handle?
Bevan Kirkpatrick:
Thanks for watching much appreciated 👍👍 the spray paint I used for the door handle was a CRAFT ENAMEL premium rage acrylic spray paint , in the colour metallic chrome silver, I bought it from Amazon, hope this helps and yeah definitely go for it the results are amazing
👍👍.
What an amazing transformation! Looking to do the same but can’t seem to find the spray paint. Do you have the link for? Thanks
@@ryanmachin7944
Sorry dont have the link but any high quality decorative
Metallic spray paint to treat surfaces like wood metal aluminium glass stone and various plastics will do just fine , the multi purpose spray paint would work to,
Just dont buy any cheap stuff 👍👍.
Thanks for the video!!
How is the paint holding up 1 month on?
XxPacey:
The door looks as new as when I first did must admit I'm well pleased with it ,
The paint is really good,
Thank you very much for watching and the comment
👍👍👌.
Have you got an update on how the doors holding up after a few months of being out in the elements?
Jack w :
I will definitely do an update vid on how the door is looking thanks for that question, so after about 5 months the door is still looking superb the paint hasn't faded in anyway saved myself hundreds of pounds and well pleased how it turned out I'll definitely do a vid to prove it 👍👍.
I’ve painted mine with satin finish. On pvc door. And you can see a few roller marks on it with the light on it. Do you know what I’m doing wrong? Thanks :)
Thanks for stopping by the vid mate👍👍 your probably not doing to much wrong did you rub down in between coats that's quite important also satin exterior paint might be a little thick I would of dilute it down a tiny bit , I would probably use a gloss roller to some of them fine rollers arnt fine enough but also you might be abit hard on yourself mate at least you give it ago, but if you're not happy with it then give it a proper rub down and go again, I would just repeat that process until you are happy with it, thanks for your comment nice one 👍👍👈.
Hi how many pots of paint for both sides did u use thanks
Lewis green:
Thanks for watching 👍 one pot of paint will definitely do 3 coats of paint on both sides with abit left over the size of the pot was 750ml 👌👍.
Hi , great job you made of door ,what spray paint did you use for handles ?
Hi cksire Dower 👍 thanks for stopping by the vid nice one and thanks for the comment 👍👍 yeah I was well pleased with how it turned out the paint is great ,and the spray paint for the handles I got from Amazon, metallic silver and I think the make was called rust-oleum hope this helps 👍👍 be safe and good luck 👍👍.
Thanks for reply 🙂
Looks fantastic…dare I do mine 🙈
Thank you very much kellissa nice one 👍👍
Yeah definitely go for it the results are superb just use my step by step guide you carnt go wrong if you need some help on the way just drop me a message in the comments, good luck if you do it plus save yourself a good few quid, thanks for stopping by the vid to

Hi
What about kids with long nails does that peel the paint off or not?
Jay hazlam :
Thanks for watching 👍 the paint is really durable when its properly cured it just dont peel off that easy ,
As for kids with long fingernails I haven't put that one to the test mate 👍.
Door looks great going to do this myself . Do you think would be better using a paint sprayer or is a brush fine ? Thanks
Thanks Stephen 👍appreciate that mate definitely go for it mate you can use a roller and paint brush to do your door I did mine with a brush and it turned out fantastic but if your thinking about brush strokes left on the door a preferred method is use a roller ,but you can also spray it , the only problem when you spray it you need the right paint to go through the spaying unit eg gun , that's why I painted mine and the Frenchic alfresco paint works a treat ,if I didn't buy the extras on the door the whole thing would of only cost me £20, happy days 👍👍.
Looks amazing I want to do mine but was told if you use a brush u can see the brush strokes, is this true?
Barb kelly👍 thank you very much for watching don't be put off with using a brush I painted my whole door just using a brush, a preferred method is using a roller but just take your time and build the coats up in between of sanding down on my door the roller couldn't get in all the corners plus around the handle and glass so I just used a brush for the whole job turned out brilliant , just brush the paint on thinly and just brush out any brush marks 👍👍 go for it !! I used Frenchic alfresco paint its really good its thick paint so put on thinly and build up coats 👍👍.
@@creativecrambo Thanks for that I'm gonna give it a go at the weekend 😁
@@barbkelly3524
Yeah definitely go for it use a roller if you feel comfortable with it and all depending on your door the brush will still be needed hope it turns out great Barb plus you are saving yourself hundreds of pounds doing it yourself let me know how you get on plus I'm here to help if you need it just let me know it's no problem
👍👍👍👍 .
You sound like you are from the North East of england, just wondered how the paint managed in all the glorius weather we had? Looking at doing my own with the same paint and your video popped up in my searches. Thank you!
Carly Evans:
Thank you 👍👍for watching my vid ,yes I am from the northeast a place called Durham but live down London now you never lose the accent that's for sure, yeah definitely go for painting your door the Frenchic paint is amazing and has great results if your not comfortable with a brush use a roller good luck with your project hope it turns out really nice 👍👍.
@@creativecrambo Thanks for the reply! Will give it a go, you never do lose the accent! North east myself think that's how I recognised your twang 😆
@@carlyevans7849

What colour is this mate
Hi, please can you say what paint you used for the silver handles, thanks
Thanks for stopping by the vid Janet yeah I sprayed the handle with rust-oleum in the colour metallic chrome silver I got it on Amazon hope this helps, 👍👍👌.
Should we clean the door first with sugar soap then sand it or the other way around?
Thanks for stopping by the vid Rita 👌 yeah first process is to give the door a proper clean down first then you can give it a fine sanding down then you should be good to go with the paint let the paint dry then give it another light sanding down then go again with the paint hope it turns out nice for you and thanks once again for stopping by the vid appreciate it alot nice one 👊👍👍.
Will follow these steps for my door. I’m glad I’ve come across this video. Please advise where I can buy this paint from in UK?
Thank you in advance
Sharika Bengum:
Thanks for watching 👍 yeah definitely give it ago yourself, just let it dry and rub down in between coats hope you get the same results as I did 👍
A always buy the paint from Frenchic paint. Co.uk 👍.
Hi. Great video definitely going to do ours after watching this. Can I please ask, was this the 750ml tin please? Thanks 😊
Leandra Bramham :
Thank you very much for watching, yeah it was a 750ml tin I did 3 coats front and back and still had a bit left in the tin , definitely go for it the results are amazing, rub down in between coats , I really hope it turns out great for you like mine did for me 👌👍👍.
Had the paint tarnished or chipped with use since the video?
Hi 👊
The door still looks brand new even after all this time
Thanks for stopping by the vid 👍👍👊
Brilliant video!! So good. Can I ask where did you buy your knocker and envelop flap from ? As I love the look of them
Thanks a lot Matt appreciate that alot mate nice one 👍👍
I got them from Amazon mate when I get back from work I'll leave a link in the description for you
Thanks for stopping by the vid mate 👌🌞😎👍👍
@@creativecrambo thank you! Yes that link would be great. I'm not sure how to measure what door handle size I need for my current one? I want to change my door handle and envelop flap but I need to somehow work out what size I need
@@mattd6495 yeah no prob mate 👍👍
If you can take the old one off then take it to store get the perfect match then like for like if that makes sense that way you carnt go wrong 👍👍 thanks mate 👌👍👍
@@creativecrambo brill will do that, seems easiest way. How have you found painting it? Have you had issues with it since? Can you send over the links when you can?
@@mattd6495
I'll send them links mate no prob and I've had no issues with the painted door what so ever it's great paint to work with plus saved myself a small fortune lol happy days init hope you get the handles sorted mate it's an easy process 👍👍👊
I used Zinsser all coat but was lazy with the prep.
I didn't key the door before or after the 1st coat and now it looks a bit crap, very textured/streaky. But looks "ok" from a distance.
Fortunately it's my back door so I can always sand it back and go again.
Great video, thanks for sharing. This is a real growing trend at the moment as all the newbuilds pop up with their dark window theme.
Thanks for stopping by the vid mate nice one 👌👊 yeah all is not lost like you said you can give it a good sanding down and go again, I did 3 coats on my door 👌👍 yeah your right about people wanting to DIY there own doors its really cheap to the cost of a new one, the most important part is the preparation mate I'll spend more time doing that then the painting itself,
Just give ya door a good sanding down and go again mate I'm sure it will look just fine then,
Thanks for your comment appreciate it alot nice one mate 👊👌👌👍👍
I painted my door with universal paint and it’s went so streaky and the paint has ran!! Any tips on how to fix it 😩
Hi Stacey 👍sounds like it went a little bit wrong but it can be sorted I'd say give the door a proper sanding down and start again use a roller next time and let the paint dry in-between coats
The good thing is you have got paint on the door take out the runs and streaks and go again it probably looks worse then it is but don't worry it can be fixed let me know how you get on I'm sure it will turn out better next time thanks for stopping by the vid nice one 👍👍👊.
Awsome mate! How was fitting the door knob? Easy enough job?

Would i need a white primer first if i paint my dark door a loght colour with the Frenchic paints ?
Hi caz thanks for watching the vid👍👍 I'd say just go for it with the Frenchic paint it's a primer and self level paint you pay for what you get you might need to do a couple of coats or 3 but you will get the results using that paint 💯 good luck with your project and let me know how you get on I'll 💯 reply 👍👍👊
@@creativecrambo great! I will do. Thanks for the quick response 👍

No prob mate all the best 👍👊
How did you do it and not get brush strokes?
Perry Hartley:
Thanks for watching much appreciated 👍, the secret is to apply the paint on thinly this will eliminate any brush strokes, the paint is quite thick so needs to be applied in thin coats , it lays down really flat on the surface there for giving you a great finished look, hope this was helpful
Thanks 👍👍.
@@creativecrambo thanks for the reply.... The door looks amazing 👍

Thank you very much 👌👍

Do u need a special paint brush for painting the door?
Thanks for taking the time to watch the vid sole searcher 👍👍 I'd definitely recommend if your painting your door yourself to invest in a good paint brush the cheap ones just dont get you the nice perfect finish , it hasn't got to be special but of good quality one definitely, a preferred method is to use a roller plus brush something like a velour roller would be perfect and a good brand name for the brush, it makes a difference to the end result mate ,a decent brush will last you years to 👍👍.
@@creativecrambo thanks for replying much appreciated I will take your advice on board and give it a go, many thanks, wish me luck! 😊
@@breeze22ish no problem mate yeah good luck 🤞 just take your time with it I'm sure it will turn out great plus your saving yourself loads of money to ,all the best 👍👍.
Did you put tape around the door handle.i am so clumsy that I would get paint on the handle lol
Thanks for stopping by this vid to fiona nice one 👍 👍yeah I'd definitely say tape up the handle if your a bit of a novice plus it don't take long to do so why not lol good luck painting your door hope it turns out great 👍👍👌👊
Did u mask of the gasket or just painted over
The Dalz:
Thanks for watching 👍
The gasket around the pvc door was really thin so I did just paint over it , the paint is really good and don't crack or peel, just let it dry properly before closing your door 👍👍.
@@creativecrambo whats a door gasket?😆
@@missg3188 hi 👍a door gasket is a rubber type material that is fixed to the frame of the door, it closes the gap up around the door also creating a seal, it stops the draught/ weather plus cuts out the sound from the outside every external door frame will have one, thanks for stopping by the vid 👍👍.
Looks great! I would really like to do my door, just wondering though - how long do you think it should be left to dry before being able to close the door without totally ruining it? Reason being, I live on a busy main road - don't really have the luxury of being able to safely leave it open all night!
Hannah thank you very much for your comment 👍👍 and kind words, the paint drying time is about 2 to 3 hours all I can say is definitely don't close your door for about that time stay with it but the paint dose dry quick all depends on weather to ,do it on a nice dry day that would be perfect 👌👌 , but definitely worth giving it a go save yourself loads of money, just pick your time and moment then go for it,
Good luck and let me know how you get on I'm here to help 👍👍.
@@creativecrambo Great! Thank you very much for the reply - I was hoping if I started early on in the morning I could let it dry all day and then close it in the evening - on now to find out how to change the pesky glass panels! 😂
@@hannahedgar1533 no problem👍👍 yeah get an early start on it would be better , hope it turns out ok good luck with it and I hope it turns out really nice take care 👍👍.
@@hannahedgar1533 u do know that you can buy glass film that will give you privacy if you want it or if you want the glass to have a stained pattern,similar to what you would see on windows in a church?thats what i plan to use,once ive painted my own front door!you just cut to size and dampen down the glass with a damp cloth and thats all thats needed to stick the film to it 👌
@@missg3188 Hello! Thank you for the tip, I was planning to give that a go but the glass has a texture so didn’t think I’d do very well getting out the air bubbles. Decided to use a special paint in the end and it turned out pretty good!👌🏻
Is it still looking ok ?
Kanes first:
The door still looks amazing I'm well pleased with it , thanks for asking 👍
The only thing that has faded is the sprayed handle but that's easy to sort out , the door still looks great 👌👍👍.
My frenchic paint chipped after a few days 😢
That's unusual Joe , chipped in what way did you prep the door properly clean down sand down 🤔 sorry to here that all the time I've used it it's been just fine maybe you had a bad batch or something 👊
You can pick up new panel for 170 all you do is take the bead off push the panel out and put the new one in and push the beads back on so easy and you will get a guarantee on the panel, if you want to save money eBay has plenty coloured ones going cheap. No fucking around prepping the door time painting it paying out for ,paint, cleaners,brush, spray for knockers and handle's and worrying if the paint will chip or not last.
Thanks for your input Darren and thanks for watching the vid👍but all it cost me to get a perfect finish on the door was £15
And the paint job is still as good as when I did it a year ago I spent next to nothing to transform the door, yeah sounds like a good choice if you want to go down that route your saying but for me mate that's not for me, probably restricted colours to choose from to I like the colour I did and the paint is superb, happy new year mate 👍👍
I feel sick now
Not really sure what that means 🤔 you might need to explain what you are saying.
Your painting that door in the wrong order.
The door turned out perfect using the procedure I did, the final result speaks for itself sorry but got to disagree with that comment.
You don’t need to sand / just get a bucket of hot water and dish soap the door clean and buy a can of self primer and 2 cans of the finished colour / and take out the windows / it took me a day and it looked great and 6 years down the road it’s still faultless
