Rain or shine the first thing visitors see is your front door and summer is nearly here! Time for a DIY on your doorstep. Mr. Speed’s Painting Tools DIY Tip #1 for painting outdoor doors is to be mindful of the weather forecast. Today and tomorrow should have a clear and sunny forecast, not too hot, too cold, or too windy. This allows for the paint to dry at an even temperature. If the door is in direct sunlight, avoid painting until it’s in the shade. You should clean off grime and dirt before you start painting by light sanding. Make sure to fill in any holes and smooth any imperfections. Painting a door usually takes three to five hours, depending on the condition of the door and how particular you are. But add in the drying time and that could take a while. Speed’s Painting has tools to help while you are waiting on the paint to dry. Door Deckers from Speed’s Painting Tools stack and can be moved out of the way while the paint is drying. They also help prevent runs and sags in the paint.
Mr. Speed’s Painting DIY Tip #2 is to know your cabinet's surface. Flat, unfinished wood is the easiest surface to paint. Wood laminate and metal are also fairly easy to work with. Plastic laminate may require special paints and techniques. Some things to consider before painting your cabinets is cost, size of the job, and paint you will need to use. Prep time and painting time should also be given thought. When replacing hardware on your cabinets, be sure they fit.
