My childhood dresser is beautiful but the wood stain looks faded.
Can you spray paint wood doors.
I worry about tops and bottoms on exterior doors.
Whereas painting with a brush can result in drips and brush marks spray paint can give you a near perfect look.
Once the doors were dry it was time to add the new hinges and knobs and rehang the doors.
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.
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.
Don t backroll the primer.
The painting technique is very similar to the same way i ve always used a can of spray paint.
Then you can stand in one spot and rotate the door to paint each side.
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.
Set the doors on a turntable when spray painting.
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.
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.
I needed to start with spray painting the trim before i removed the door.
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.
Spraying the doors only required pockets of 10 15 minutes at a time and freed up a lot of time to do other things.
Keep the nozzle 10 to 12 in.
This allows you access to all sides.
From the door and maintain a consistent angle while spraying.
The hardest part was taping and sealing off the trim around the door.
