5 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT PAINTING DOORS
5 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT PAINTING DOORS: 1. Use a waterborne alkyd paint (semi-gloss sheen is most recommended) like Benjamin Moore Advance. 2. Use Mask & Peel on French doors or glass inserts. 3. Use a Zibra triangular paint brush for painting inside of grooves. 4. Tape off transitions. 5. Paint a door edge the same color of the side that swings into a room if the other side of the door is a different color. Paint the hinge edge of the door the other color. Also: Always test for lead on doors built prior to 1980. Test your doors for oil paint using a cotton ball and rubbing alcohol. Rub alcohol saturated cotton ball onto your door. If the paint doesn’t rub off onto the cotton ball, it’s oil based and you’ll likely need an oil based primer first. “Save” this one for later
