Step-by-Step Instructions for Door Painting
Take the door off.
First, take the door off the hinges.
- Close the door, and then tap the hinge pin with a hammer and nail.
- The hinge can be tapped up using a flathead screwdriver until it is removed.
- The door should be opened and then pulled gently to the side until it falls off the hinges.
Take Door Hardware off
Make use of a screwdriver to loosen and take out all the hardware, including doorknobs and hinges. Put everything in a container or box for later reinstallation.
Sand the Door
Sand all the areas of the door with the sanding block or the electric sander. The purpose of sanding is to get rid of the finish layer that covers the door, which is the shiny substance, and also in order to make the door's surface smoother. Clean any dust off with the use of a clean cloth.
Complete Edge Work
Utilize the paintbrush to paint around the edge of your door. Start with the hinge's inner edge and move through the door from the top to the striker side, and then from the bottom.
Paint the Door
Utilizing the smaller roller, apply paint to the door's surface using the roller to run to the top of the door. After stretching three to four widths using the roller, apply the brush using a small quantity of paint to smooth the lines of the roller. Do this until the entire face of the door is covered in paint, then let it dry. Once the door is dry, turn the door over and repeat the painting procedure for the second side.
Install Door Hardware
Utilize the screwdriver for reinstalling the doorknob and hinges on the door.
Mount the Door
Install the door back on the hinges with an apex tool if necessary to ensure that the hinge leaves are aligned. Move the hinge pin to its place, then tap it using the hammer.
