You will find many differing types of door and you can find many methods used for constructing them. In this short article I would certainly like #to cover# a few of the leading ones, but remember, the method I make use of for painting doors virtually covers the lot with maybe one or two exceptions. You might somewhat be thinking that painting a door is kind of simple, but We have seen some disastrous results from people who thought just that.

Doors and windows are produced using the lengths of wood with grain patterns that unavoidably run in numerous directions. To accomplish an even, professional-looking finish, free from brush marks, you need #to paint# them in the sequence that takes account of this grain. Think ahead when painting windows using oil-based paints, as they may take longer to dry than you expect. Or use water-based paint, which dries more quickly and releases much less odour and fumes.

Painting doors
When you are painting a new wooden door you will need #to apply# knotting solution to any knots #in the# wood to prevent resin seeping through the new paint. If you are painting a stripped door this will not be necessary because the surface will already have been sealed. However, the door will have to get primed and under-coated.

Before starting, remove the door handles and wedge the door open. Keep the handle inside your pocket in case the door is accidentally closed by some one. Remove any dust using a soft brush and wipe the surface using a tack cloth.

Panel door:
Start with your panels as well as the mouldings that surround them.
Next paint the muntin or centre vertical. Then paint the cross rails, starting with your top rail and work down.
Paint the stiles or outer verticals and finish by painting the three exposed door edges.
If you are painting the door another colour on either side, the hinged edge needs to be #the colour# of the closing face, and the outer edge the opening face.

Glass door:
Use masking tape or a paint shield to safeguard the glass in a glazed door.
First paint the mouldings round the glass using a cutting in brush.
Next paint the cross rails, starting with your top rail and working down.
Then paint the stiles and eventually all three exposed door edges.

Flush door:
Divide the door into eight imaginary sections.
Start from the top left and work down from left to right.
Blend each area into the very next while the paint is wet, finishing with vertical strokes in line with the grain.
Paint the door edges last.

Believe me #when I# say that I understand how hard it may be to do these tasks that I’ve written about #in this# article. I have applied #these tips# #to many# painting projects through the years but at the beginning #when I# first started off #in the# painting trade #there was# a great deal to learn. For my training I went to an organization called - painter london - They taught me everything that I know these days.
