Budget Faux Wooden Front Door - Simple DIY Project
Vložit
- čas přidán 21. 11. 2021
- We increased our curb appeal by replacing our moldly front door with a new fiberglass door that we painted to look like wood! This is the best of both worlds as far as I'm concerned since we now have a front door that looks like wood, without the price tag. I would rate this as an easy project, especially if you're not replacing the door, but just painting it.

New door looks great. You did a beautiful job. Video very informative. One tip: Don't talk negative about previous owners..... It's not necessary and it's distracting . Just state the facts of the problem that are being addressed without blame.
I'm sorry you don't like the fact that I brought up the previous owners. However, they did a lot of things that have cost us significant amounts of time and money. They did many things that covered up defects in the house that I wish I would have better documented to both warn future homebuyers about and to potentially discuss with a lawyer.
@@RandomBatHome loved that you mention the hidden issues when buying a home nothing is ever 100% and sellers will forget as well hide when disclosing.
Thought the same, not important to the value of the video. Also goodbye ugly door would be a find for someone. Freecycle or Habitat store, even a locksmith can use old door hardware.
Amazing 🤩
Cool!
Great job now to make it look even better do the same process on your door frame around the door :-)
First of beautiful job! Second great job on taking the time to link all information! I know it's time consuming.
I'm following your lead however you not listed the product you sealed the door with. Would you kindly share?
Thanks a million!
Sorry about that! I missed that in the description and it's been updated as well. I used Minwax Helmsman Spar Urathane with a satin sheen. amzn.to/3SsMa7W
@@RandomBatHome lol, I went to Lowes yesterday and pick exactly that, and I just saw this message. Yay! I'm happy that it is the same product! Thank you!
Love it! We have a newbuild and they painted the door black. Would love to do this to add warmth. How is it holding up? Wondering if it is best to strip the black paint and then do the gel stain or just paint this tan color over the black paint.
It's held up really well! No issues or complaints yet and still get compliments. Hmmm, I probably wouldn't bother stripping and would do a few coats of the tab before starting. Good luck!
Are painting techniques like these sunproof and waterproof? Is this possible on cemented trellis for a wooden trellis effect?
what makes the painted door waterproof is the sealer! I did 3 coats and will likely have to maintain it over time. The paint itself was meant for outdoor use, but I definitely didn't want to risk having the paint chip or fade. It's been almost a year without any issues. I bet you could paint cement, I think you'll just need to purchase paint meant to be applied to cement.
@@RandomBatHome Thank you so much! will take note of this. Will update you if we are able to pull it off!
What color is your paint tinted to, to get that little brown color?
The base color is Capilano Bridge (1076) and the top gel stain is the Chestnut from Minwax.
Hi , what color did you used for the base color? What is the name of de color ?
The color is called Capilano Bridge (1076).
I just did this technique and my stain has been drying for five hours and it’s still very tacky. What should I do? I have a fan blowing on it but it doesn’t seem to be doing anything
Hi Judy, I would give it more time! A fan is a great idea though, will definitely help. I'd check back on it in 24hrs, especially if it's really humid by you.
