Before tearing it down to put in new doors, perhaps the method of painting the doors will be more beneficial to you, as it will also help you save money.

There are many types of doors that have become very expensive. That is why all you have to do is paint the door with nothing more than paint and paint it the color you like and it will be like new. To learn in detail  how to paint doors and the most useful tips for carrying out the process.

Painting doors is a process that requires certain DIY concepts and specific tools to complete successfully. If you do not have any experience, we recommend that you inform yourself as much as possible and consult all the sources that you think are necessary. With this step by step you will have a basic idea to know  how to paint the doors white  :

1. The first action to be taken is to remove the hinges and the door handle to avoid movement problems and make the operation more comfortable. Place the door on brackets to secure the doors or on a piece of furniture that will help you hang and paint it more easily.
2. Before sanding the door, protect the edges. Use masking tape, an adhesive tape widely used in crafts and painting because it’s perfect for covering parts of the door that you don’t want to paint. When using this tape, the edges will not be coated.
3. After protecting the edges, you can now sand the door. Use a fine particle board and sander (the more professional, the easier the job).
4. Soak a rag in rubbing alcohol and run it over the surface to remove any sanding dust.
5. Spritz a layer of multi-purpose primer into the water, you can find this product at DIY stores. The primer will form a layer between the door and the paint helping the latter to hold up better and protect the door material. Ensure that the contents of the container are homogenized before applying.
6. Once dry, apply the White Satin Teflon Polyurethane Enamel Coating. It is an excellent enamel for painting and restoring metal and wood, so it is ideal for doors made of any of these materials. You can also search for one in the color you like.
7. Coat your hands with this enamel to give it hardness and resistance, as well as a good repellency to dust and dirt. It is important that you wait for it to dry completely before applying the second coat.
8. Replace the handle that was removed at the beginning of the process. Paint the door jambs or skins before putting the door in place.

If you follow each step in detail, you can change the color of your door to your liking, adapting it to the decor of your room and home. You can use this method if you are looking  to paint sabili doors white  .

If your doors are varnished, the method for applying them will be different. In this case, you will need  a special adhesive paint  that can cling to varnished surfaces. There are specific primer products on the market with which you can completely coat these doors in no time and without fear of roller marks.

A primer allows you to apply the paint you want to a lacquered door, as it will create a layer of paint that will adhere and is suitable for setting the new color.

DIY and decoration can be quite challenging for beginners and even for those who already have some experience in the area. For this reason, we would like to give you more tips to avoid mistakes when  painting doors at home  :

• The most effective way to paint doors is to use a spray gun. With this tool, you will achieve a perfect surface finish. The disadvantage is that not all people have this tool at home. If you have it, you can also do this with a foam roller with which you will get a smooth, solvent-resistant finish.
• Two-component varnishes have greater hardness and resistance than those that contain one component, so we at Jaafar Shop advise you to choose the first option. These two components are the catalyst and the varnish itself.
• In the preparation process, the product used can be dissolved with water or a solvent, an option that makes the door more resistant and whitens it more.
