Painting a Door

When painting doors, use the "inside-out" technique. Doors, either flush or panel, can be painted quickly with a roller and brush. Brush in all thedifficult surfaces first, then cover as much as you canwith the roller. Use the brush immediately after using a roller to give the paint a grain that will match the wood, across and up and down. It may be best to remove door from hinges and lay it down on saw horses or table. Paint can be applied quicker and thicker with-out the danger of paint sagging. Allow the painted side to dry thoroughly before turning it over to paint other side. Use padding to protect the painted surface.
