very true but i was still recovering from my knee repair surgery. picking up the door was not an option at the time.

you can do 2 coats. i just chose not too. 2 coats would definitely last longer to. my door still looks great till this day.

Very true. the wire brush is great for loose paint, dirt and rust removal.

thank you

@@diybattlestation8275 I did it at my school in Thailand 👍

I am happy to hear it helped you with your project.

@@diybattlestation8275 Thanks a million 🥰

I was outside so I decided to play dangerous

The lower mesh was on Amazon and the upper one is from Home Depot. I had to paint the Home Depot one by had because it is raw. It is a really big sheet. They used to sell it pre-painted and smaller.

Very true

Yes, when spraying you get a lighter paint and does not accumulate easily to block the holes. Rollers and brushing paint can cause more of a paint buildup which in turn can clog the mesh in the screen.

Thank you!

Very true. Leaving the tire on is an option. It just makes it a lot easier for me and I also had the chance to make sure everything looked in working order still down there. Thank you for watching.

It is a chalk marker. It cleans up easy too

That is a great choice if you do not have a sprayer. I wish you the best on your DIYing. I find it addicting to keep doing projects around the house.

Won't the spray ,spray around the walls and all the house?

I would choose a day with no wind. And at least 48” masking paper around the edge of doorway to prevent overspray.

@@diybattlestation8275 is there an option to use it with a brush or roller? I don't know how to use spray and don't want a mess in my house because of me not knowing what I am doing

I am very sorry for not answering your question much earlier. my notifications were not coming through. Of course you can but the result might not turn out the same. I would suggest using a foam roller for smooth surfaces. This will give you the least amount of streaks and texture in the paint while applying the paint. Primer is our friend and it will bond to the surface better than paint, but will also create a great surface for the paint to be applied to. Happy New Years and Happy DIYing

The airflow depends on the gauge of metal and the diameter of the gaps. My security door is thick so only about 40% of the breeze would be able to pass through.

@@diybattlestation8275 Thank you so much. That really help us out. Great video keep making them.👍

I believe it is called Brooklyn Blue by BEHR

Make sure the spray paint can paint rated for outdoor use. Indoor only paint fades a lot faster due to it not having UV protection. The “Masking Paper” can be bought at Home Depot with the Rust Oleum paint. Happy DIYing. 👍🏽

Very true. Extra protection. The paint does not come out as thin as aerosol but better safe than sorry.

I bought it Harbor Freight. They have a bigger and smaller one too.

Home Depot has a rust neutralizer that turns into primer.

I measured pretty much 1” past where the bend will start so that I would have room for glue

The sprayer is a Wagner Flexio 3000. Sry about the late response. You have to dilute the paint so that the sprayer works well.

The sprayer helps remove loose paint and dirt. You can even pre wash the door with a degreaser too to help clean

You are very welcome

Thank you for checking that out. Grill still holding up well after 5 months.

@@diybattlestation8275 can you send the exact link please and thank you

I would rate it on the cheap side. I wish I had gone with an actual Ford upgrade or one of the better upgrades out there. This one has features you can not use with touch screen. The Tesla style one looks like a better choice but it cost about 3X more. I would recommend steering clear of this radio. Not a great choice.

@@diybattlestation8275 thank you 🙏

No problem

You can also rent a professional sprayer from a hardware store, but I got this sprayer used from Facebook for the price it would have cost to rent the sprayer for a few hours. I have already used it in 6 of my out door projects and on my in garage work bench area. Takes some time to learn how to mix the paint but TH-cam has plenty of good videos showing how to dilute your paint well.

Bought the lower one on Amazon. Could not find a big enough size for the larger opening. I ended up going to home depot and buying metal lath. $10 for a big piece buy the Amazon one was made out of a thicker metal. You will also have to paint the Home Depot one

The door paint is still perfect until this date. Powder coating would be the ultimate way to go but it has been handling temps between 18F and 110F very well.

Started late on first day. All together 2 hours. Could have taken about an hour if I skipped the sanding cleaned it with dawn dish soap.

1/3 gal. You lose some because of the loss in the air.

Javier Vega thx bro

Yes it does

Tech Avenue D.I.Y. Thanks

Primer is aways recommended because it enhances the bond of the paint to the surface. All in one paint and primer makes it much easier

@@diybattlestation8275 was the paint you used a all in one primer and paint? My security door is already dark brown and I want to paint a teal. Not sure a all in one will work?

i used a 2 in 1 BERH paint in primer. But this is only temporary. If/ when it starts to fade or chip I will send it out to get powder coated.

I painted over everything. The doors movement will remove the unwanted paint from the hinges. But I recommender removing the handle and locking parts to prevent paint from entering the key hole

@@diybattlestation8275 carefully taping over it is fine. Saves time n wen you are done painting all u do is remove tape n proceed

Its a Wagner Flexio 3000. The paint is by BEHR. Its an exterior semi-gloss. Paint has to be thinned with water if its water based or paint thinner if it is oil based. The paint gun can not shoot paint straight out of the can because it is too thick. Sorry for not answering last week.

Scotch-brite scouring pad was used for preparing the surface for cleaning.

thx bro
