  • What a difference a day makes! I painted this black door in 75° weather and now I'm bundled up and freezing in the wind and a balmy 46°.
    But that's Idaho spring for ya!

    Question for you: If you could paint your front door any color (like if your husband's opinion didn't matter 3), what would you paint it? I love bright colors & would totally do bright pink! (Even though my house is mostly neutrals.🤷🏻‍♀️)

    The foam rollers really help make a smooth finish on the doors

    What type of primer? We bought a house with a hot pink front door that needs to be changed. Any paint brand you suggest?

    No, don't use drop cloths. Just paint the floor the same color. 😂

    Your door looks great, I went from red to black too. We hired a painter to paint our door as they were doing some interior painting for us as well. Both turned out awful. The black door is chipping already, less than a year. I’m going to do it myself this time. What finish is your black paint?

      Oh no!! I used exterior enamel paint. Here is a link to my blog post where I go over how I painted my door. It's towards the bottom. Hope it helps! dlnkr.com/s/av1EH7Lv

    What primer did you use?

    • @HowWeDo208
      @HowWeDo208  Před 2 měsíci

      Kilz, but any quality primer should be fine.

    How did drying go? Did you leave it open for a time?

    • @HowWeDo208
      @HowWeDo208  Před 2 měsíci

      Yes for a time. I just made sure to start this project early in the morning.

    Was the side of the door near the hinges already white ?

    • @HowWeDo208
      @HowWeDo208  Před 11 měsíci +1

      Yes, that small section was left white when the door was originally painted red.

    What primer and paint did you use?

    • @HowWeDo208
      @HowWeDo208  Před 2 měsíci +1

      I used an exterior paint by Benjamin Moore. For the primer any quality primer should be fine.

    Is this door wood? Or Aluminum?

    • @HowWeDo208
      @HowWeDo208  Před 2 měsíci

      The exterior paint I used will work for either, but mine was aluminum.

    The primer says, "No need to sand." They mean "no need to sand before the application of the paint, "not before" the application of the primer, lmao, ugh... 😢... nube... 😂😅😂
