Once the doors were dry it was time to add the new hinges and knobs and rehang the doors.
Can you spray paint wood doors.
You can spray 2 coats of primer if it ll make you feel better.
Don t backroll the primer.
Start your spray slightly off the top of the door and while the paint is spraying move the sprayer in even up and down motions top to bottom.
Plus the paint in a can of spray paint is thinned down so that it will spray nicely through the small nozzle so in the end it may not be as durable as a full strength paint and it may not cover well.
Spray painting is an easy way of achieving a smooth even finish on wood furniture this is especially true of items that have intricate designs.
My childhood dresser is beautiful but the wood stain looks faded.
The absolute best way to paint a door is with real paint through a real paint sprayer but i know this is hard for a diy er to do.
This allows you access to all sides.
Highly recommend going this route if you have a bunch of doors to paint.
The hardest part was taping and sealing off the trim around the door.
I worry about tops and bottoms on exterior doors.
I usually take doors off stand vertically in a zigzag pattern screw a 2x2 or 2x4 or what ever scrap piece s across top of all doors to stabilize.
I d love to update it with fresh paint and new hardware but i ve heard that you can t get good results painting over stain.
From the door and maintain a consistent angle while spraying.
I opted to remove the door just easier to paint that way and opted to spray paint since my door has a lot of raised panels to paint around.
Set the doors on a turntable when spray painting.
Whereas painting with a brush can result in drips and brush marks spray paint can give you a near perfect look.
Keep the nozzle 10 to 12 in.
The painting technique is very similar to the same way i ve always used a can of spray paint.
