I am so glad I found this video. I will be doing exactly this over the weekend. Great work!
Thanks MsBell74. Your doors will look great in time for the holidays! 🙌🏽
You absolutely answered a couple of questions that I couldn’t find answers to on other videos. Thank you 🙂
That’s great to hear thanks, for watching Karina! 👋🏽
Thank you so much for this video. I plan on painting my doors inside a darker grey color :)
My pleasure Adeline. Dark grey would look lovely! Good luck with your project!! 👏🏽
Excellent video. The screw hack is awesome.
Glad you found it helpful! It comes in handy!
This is my all time favorite video about painting interior doors, I’ll be doing this as soon as I’m done with painting and staining my stairs. Thanks for sharing and for the HACK👍
Sounds like you have a great project in the works! Thanks Mz Vee, Good luck! 👍🏽
Nice job with professional looking results
Thanks JD! Nice of you to say. Hope you enjoy your painting!
GREAT VIDEO!!!!!!! Thank you so much!!!
My pleasure! Happy you found it helpful!
I'm getting ready to paint my front door a light teal color, and i want shiney and easy to clean. I like the brush/roller combo the way you did your door and the screws on the ends for easy turning of the door, as well as not having to wait for it to completely dry.
I need to replace the door knobs and the house numbers so it should look like a brand new door when done.
Oh, and you're a very pretty and attractive woman, and I would gladly carry your over my threshold 😉 .I just had to throw that in. 😊
Good luck with your painting! Glad you found it helpful.
Beautiful blue color ❤
Paints dry darker. This color is a classic. I love it for interiors and exteriors. 🖤
Thanks for sharing. Hoping to get three doors done before Thanksgiving. A little scared... wish me luck.
You can do this! It’s awesome that you are taking on your project. I betting it’s a start of something great! Good luck! 🙌🏽
Thank you for your video.❤
Glad you liked it!
Amazing, thanks.
Go get em Boss! Thanks!
Awesome step by step video. You made it look easy
Thanks Jose! It’s a great DIY project. You’ve got this. 👍🏽
@@DaruDhillon one last thing, how do you minimize/eliminate roller lap marks? I painted the doors a bluish gray but whenever the light reflects at a certain angle, you can definitely notice the roller marks.
Thank you in advance
@@meancheeto hi Jose, I would keep three things in mind when rolling. Having the right high density roller is key. You want to maintain a wet edge. Make sure you are not applying too much paint with your roller. Your coats should be applied lightly so that no roller marks are visible. In the video I’m also going over areas where I have rolled lightly again with the roller to get it looking perfect. I hope that helps.
There is no need to dust when you sand the first coat. It will melt in with the second coat. Assuming there isn’t sanding dust piled up. Great video.
Thanks Neo, you’re right some people don’t dust, I do. As a mom it’s in my DNA
Nice!!
Thanks Hwasoo! It was a fun little project! 😊
A reminder that your prep work is the most important step in painting. Clean, sand and prime, when needed, to ensure a durable, long lasting finish. I also prefer not to use enamel as they are prone to yellowing. You can also remove your hinge pins and door first before removing your hinges.
Excellent video! Would you use the same process for painting new wooden doors? Our new French doors got “professionally” painted and they look terrible! I don’t know what step they skipped. Would love your help. Thank you!
@@g30a35 glad you found it helpful! I’m sorry that you’re having to deal with a bad paint job. You can absolutely use the same technique for a wood, metal or fibreglass door. I would sand your door before painting and make sure your doors have been primed before painting. Good luck with your project.
excellent presentation
Thanks LIFE! 👋🏽
I like yr style..nice
Thanks Audrey! Please subscribe if you like to do more DIYs. ⭐️
Great tips given but I'd recommend an enamel paint which will cure rock hard and stand up much better to everyday use then the standard latex based paints. Won't get that paint sticking issue that latex gives off either when it comes to doors.
That's a great option and a durable one too. I've found that a homeowners are reluctant to use Enamels in their homes due to off-gassing and VOCs. I'm in Toronto, and even though Enamels have improved their VOCs, they still have a reputation for off-gassing. Thanks for the tips, it's great to hear from you!
I love those black doors
Thanks, it’s a big improvement!
great video. love the screw hack! got a question. if latex takes 30 days to cure, are you saying that we shouldn't re-hang the doors for 30 days to prevent sticking or can we get by with re-hanging sooner? if so, what would be the recommended # of days or hours before it's safe to re-hang? BTW, just found your channel and have only watched a couple of your videos, but between the smoke detector video and this one, i'm going to sub and bell! thanks again!
Thanks for watching and subscribing! You can rehang your door once the paint is dry to the touch. During the cure time, use your door as normal. With any painted surface you want to avoid washing, wiping or cleaning the paint during that time. Latex paint needs this time to become more durable and to have a stronger bond with the door. Washing, wiping or cleaning a newly painted surface damages the durability of the paint. If a surface gets dirty just wait to clean it. Thanks for the great question. I hope that helps. 😀
how do you re mount the door and keep the weather stripping from sticking and pulling off the paint?
Hi! I love your videos. I wanted to diy paint my wood garage doors. Will a latex satin paint also be durable for garage doors? Thanks so much😊
Hi Maribeth! Acrylic latex is the most popular choice of exterior paint for professional painters. It’s my go-to for exterior siding, doors and trim. I really like the Emerald line from SW, Duration is all a good choice. It’s flexible so it withstands expansion and contraction better than other types of paint plus it’s durable. For wood, I’d sand and use a good quality primer so you get good adhesion. Thanks for watching. I’m sorry I didn’t see your question sooner Maribeth. ⭐️
Is that door not faux wood, textured? How did you sand it smooth? I'm struggling with mine. Paint is peeling. Also used SW tinted primer, and SW paint. However store recommended All Surface Enamel Acrylic paint. Colour Iron Ore.
This channel will blow up eventually.
Thanks Sam! Appreciate the good thoughts.
When you painted black did you also paint the door trim same color? how you like the black?
I have 7 doors to paint, I'm trying to see the best way to tackle them in my garage, do I paint 1 door and wait for it to dry and then do second door using the drilling method you show or just place all 7 face down paint, wait for it dry and then paint the other side. I'm thinking satin black, but a bit scared.
I painted the trim white but it’s a personal choice. If you have a lot of doors to do do you can lean them against a wall to paint one side and then flip them once dry. Simple and fast
I have really dark almost black cabinets. The builder did not caulk around them or fill nail holes. There are large gaps between trim and wall. Can I caulk around already painted cabinets?
Caulking will improve the look and is often used. Run a bead of caulking around your cabinets where they meet your wall. You can use a paintable caulk to blend into your wall color too if needed. If the gaps are too large and you don’t like the look you can always use a thin piece of trim color matched to your cabinets.
Great video.. I want to paint my door the same color as you did, should I use a white primer first, or are there different color primers I should use ( ex . In the same shade as the paint) and my door has a lot of paint peeling from it, so i have to sand it down first. What grit sandpaper should I use ..? Thanks
If you are painting your door a dark color you can use a tinted primer. My paint supplier will tint paint to match (fairly closely) to the paint I’m using. In this video I’m I using white because it’s what I had on hand and it worked well too. You should always sand your door down so that your primer and paint bond and adhere really well to your door. This will ensure a long lasting finish. All the materials I used are listed in the description. Thanks for the question Victor! 👍🏽
@@DaruDhillon thank you
What about tiny air bubbles with the high density foam roller? When I did my cabinets I had to roll and tip to remove the bubbles….
I haven’t had any issues with that. Good to know your experience with cabinets.
You are so beautiful😍😍
Hello Daru, can you please provide the product link for the stands used to paint the door in this video?
Hi KD, I just added it now to the description box. Thanks for letting me know! They are folding saw horses and I use them all the time. They fold up and are easy to store. The link is there but I got mine on sale at my local hardware store for 50% off Amazon's price. Cheers!
Thank you for sharing, Daru. I appreciate it. Please share handy and helpful tools list when you get time in a separate video and that will help many DIY’s thank you again.
Hi, I'm really hoping you can help me because I don't know what I'm doing wrong, I've always painted doors the way you showed, and always, every time, end up with stippling. While it's not terrible, it's just not smooth like yours. I'm in the process of painting all my doors, I'm using SW Emerald Trim and Door Urethane paint in Caviar Black, sanding them smooth with 220, cleaning them well, using foam rollers, but after every coat, I get stippling, what is going on? What am I doing wrong?? I'm sooo frustrated! Please help!
Hi Robert, I hear you, that's a frustrating situation. Keep in mind, when rolling it's important to have a light touch, two light coats are better than a thick coat. You can also try another roller and test it on a scrap board to see if that makes a difference. If you find the paint is just not levelling out as you would like, you can use a product like Floetrol (I've attached a link below). You can add it to your paint to get rid of brush strokes or roller marks. It's what painters use for a smoother finish. It's also used on trim and baseboards. Good luck Robert. I hope it works out for you.

@@DaruDhillonHi, Daru, I actually do have some Floetrol on hand, I used it once before and it left the paint sticky for a very long time, so I opted not to use it for the doors, but perhaps I just added too much. I'll give it a try and see how it goes. Thanks so much for responding, a lot of people just don't respond, so I really do appreciate it!
Thanks you for make video but you need to know this ,You must pass the roller and the brush with much more paint, the roller is passed once or twice gently and it should never be dry
Thanks for the tips!
how to know wich, door is your siblings or parents ; color them
Question----shouldn't you use oil based paint? Other than cleaning brushes, what is the advantage in using latex?
That’s a good question RCB. Homeowners overwhelmingly want latex in their homes because it’s a more environmentally responsible choice. It’s simply healthier for your home and the air you breathe. Oil based paints have higher VOCs (volatile organic compounds) which can cause cancer. They also have a stronger smell. Latex paints are durable and the paint technology is constantly improving. Thanks for the question and for watching!
@@DaruDhillon Makes sense---thanks so much for the info and the great video. Just did some doors using your technique and they came out great!
@@wilsonandlucy That’s awesome! I’m glad you took on this project. It’s a great DIY and a great skill to lear. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Hi! I recently used that exact paint except in peppercorn color on my interior doors and they look great. However if I barely scratch or Knick the door the paint comes off easily! I can’t figure out the problem
Hi Lacy, I'm sorry to hear, that's a frustrating situation. Were you doors clean, sanded and primed before you painted? Paint will also require time to cure or harden and become durable. On average that can take up to a month.
@@DaruDhillon they’re wood. I didn’t prime or do anything but wipe it clean. I used the super paint as well
@@lacybates3420 if you were painting over raw wood I would always recommend using a primer. Priming, prep work and sanding are the most important steps in getting your paint to bond/stick to your door. Even when I re-paint or re-coat a door, trim or walls I always sand in between coats so that you get a good bond.
Unfortunately, you may have to sand down your door, prime and repaint. Super Paint has always been very reliable for me - BM Advance is also an excellent choice.
@@DaruDhillon thank you I painted over white paint and it must have been oil based. I’m gonna sand and prime and start over.
Good luck Lucy and thanks for sharing. It can help someone who may be dealing with this too.
Do u have to wait 30 days to add the sealant over the paint?
I would follow the instructions of your product your using but generally, recoat time on door and trim paint is 4 hours.
You can actually mini roll the entire door. No brush needed.
Sanding prior to painting is correct, however, you don’t need to sand between coats.
You can do that but a light sanding creates a better bond, adhesion and durability. It only takes a minute. 👍🏽
@@DaruDhillon between coats of poly yes. But not paint. Otherwise we’d be sanding our walls between coats of paint lol
You’re a hard worker! Kudos to that!
What do you have the doors attached to in order to flip them?
I have the door on two sawhorses. Cheers!
Can I use this paint on a steel door?
Hi Helen, I've used SW Duration and Emerald line on exterior metal in dark colors with great results. It's durable and has maintained it's color well. I haven't used this paint on metal but it’s also a good quality paint. Good luck with your project!
I painted my interior doors with black satin. Looks sharp. One huge problem..everytime we shut/open the dorrs the paint rubs off where the door touches the door frame. HELP!
Hi Kim, for doors that are rubbing your door jamb you have two quick options. You can add 2” screws into your door jamb to help give you a little space. If this works do this where needed. This is the easiest way. Otherwise, you can plane down your door edge to buy you some more space. Good luck! I hope it’s a quick fix!
@@DaruDhillon I will give it a try!
@@kimpresson4140 I hope the screw trick works for you. I’ve been there too. 🤞🏽
What kind of roller did you use?
The roller is linked in the description box. Thanks!
Hi.. Any reason why my enamel white turned cream after a few months. I used one of the best brands as well.
Enamel paints are prone to yellowing, especially white if they are not exposed to daylight. It’s a chemical process. I prefer latex, acrylic latex and the professional painters I have worked with don’t use enamel for trim. Enamel for cabinets. I also find acrylic latex easier to apply. Please subscribe for more paint videos. I’ll be doing more soon. Thanks for the question.
Is this for metal doors?
Good question! Same technique can be applied to metal doors. Acrylic latex is more resilient to weathering and expansion especially when used in exterior applications. For exterior, I personally use Emerald line from SW. Good luck with your project!
What paint did you use? X
Hi Rachel, for details on the paint you can take a look at the description. I used SW here which I’ve found easy to apply and durable. Cheers!
Why light sanding after first paint?
A quick light sand will remove any imperfections, high spots or brush marks. It will make for a smoother, more professional finish. It’s a simple step to elevate your end result! Good luck Belinda, thanks for the great question!
How does the screws work
Went too fast for me want to learn how please
Hi Ivee, you can insert two long screws on both ends of your door. Place the end of your doors so that the screws are resting on your sawhorses. The door will be floating on the four screws. After painting one side, flip your door over to paint the other side.
Because your door is not touching a surface, you don’t have to wait for one side to dry before painting the other.
If you don’t have sawhorses you can use 2x4 off cuts or scrap lumber. Hope that helps. Thanks for the question!
@@DaruDhillon thank you! I love that door.
Rolling Stones fans when they see a red door
A classic and one of my fave’s! ❤️
The link for the sand paper doesn’t work
Thanks Lindsey, I appreciate you letting me know. I've updated the link.
@@DaruDhillon thank you 😊
I see a red door
And I want it painted black
No colors anymore
I want them to turn black
I wish you would’ve not been in front of the door so we wouldn’t look more at the door for the finish.
Thanks for the feedback Martha! I’ll keep that in mind for the next video. Good point. 👍🏽
Notice u didn’t prime 🚪
It’s primed. Your prep is the most important part of painting. I prime when covering wood, factory finish or oil based paint. With high quality paint, covering latex, I generally don’t.
If you need to prime, I always recommend purchasing a high quality primer. Good luck with your painting! 👍🏽
Don't want to remove my door
You can always paint it while it’s on the hinges. Same tips apply. Good luck with your project! 👍🏽
Black door? Really?
It’s a lot easier to see the technique for a tutorial instead of white on white. It’s also a popular choice for some!
@@DaruDhillon 🤔 ok. Nice tutorial 🙃
Getting ready to paint my door black! Thank youuu!
@@karlinovander142 Yes! You can do it! 🙌🏽
