| Sand, 1 coat of oil based primer 2 or 3 coats of oil not latex paint. I would like to suggest a particular type of paint.
www.finepaintsofeurope.com this is the best paint it is more costly than domestic paint but the benefits out way the cost.
domestic paint you might get 3 years then you have to repaint with this paint if applied properly you are looking at 10 or better depending on the abuse you give your door. I have been painting for over 16 years and this is the best paint i have every used in my life. if you follow the directions to the letter then you will have the best looking door in your neighborhood hands down |
