How To Paint A Front Door

[@BonitaKingsley]

Keep it. It helps keep the hot & cold air out . Love the new look. Thanks for the tutorial detailing how you accomplished this.

The color you chose is beautiful Denise! This video came just in time - I have a couple of exterior doors that need a new coat of paint! I have come close to thinking I should remove them first but you have convinced me to not take that extra step! Thanks Denise!🥰

Thanks Cindy, and ya, I won't be removing any of my other doors for an update and with your talent and steady hand - no need in my opinion. Hugs XOXO

Simply beautiful! I love the richness and depth of the color.

The front view looks better to me without the storm door. Your new painted front door looks great!

I would remove the storm door… Love the new look of the front door 🤩

Keeping the screen or storm door on increase the lifespan of the painted front door as well as protector wreaths

[@catherinecooper2360]

I would paint the screen/storm door because your use of wreaths would be limited because of snow and ice if the storm door wasn't there. Keeping the inside door open because of the screen helps with air circulation too.

Thanks Catherine and ya, even if I was to paint it and NOT like the look, I've lost nothing but a couple of hours and a little paint so I might just try this. Thanks for chiming in! :)

I have painted many, many paneled doors both exterior and interior. For me it is much easier and faster to use a mini foam roller after cutting in. Use a good Purdy brush for cutting in and you wont have to use tape. As a pro painter told me its just better to put the paint where you want it to go.

Love it, thank you 🙏🏾

For security alone, I would keep the screen door. It also allows you to open the door and let natural light in, while keeping insects out. The door looks great! I thought you would use a roller to smooth the paint out, but it looks great!

Thanks Dawn and thanks for chiming in!

I really like that color- in my opinion, I prefer that a door have sidelights if I'm going to have a storm door. Since, your house does not have sidelights, then removing the storm door would really make your freshly painted door - POP. ha ha..a nice DYI term...POP

How much paint did you use to paint it?
