The trick with most outdoor metal things i.e. patio furniture, lamps etc. is to apply CARWAX when they're NEW or newly restored/ repainted. Preserves and prevents rust... 👍🧐💪
Video finally hit 1000 views. Thank you everybody for taking the time to check it out. Just painted the inside of my house but I did not get to film it.
That looks so great. I'm thinking of doing this same thing to match the door because you can't even see the pretty door color under the screen door. I think I will use Rustoleum spray paint and also re-spray the door with that.
@@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
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 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?
What kind of sprayer and paint did you use? It turned out very nice! We are in the middle of painting our house. And we got a lot of security doors to paint. I think the holes are smaller than yours so I'm not sure if we can get the same result.
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.
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.
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. 👍🏽
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.
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.
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.

I have been told I should have been doing this years ago. Today was the day. Thanks bro

Nice job. I needed this video.
Bro, you were meant for this!!!!! Keep them coming!
thx bro

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.

Use a wire brush to get rid of the rust and those places where paint has "closed up" the mesh of the door. A drop cloth helps.
Very true. the wire brush is great for loose paint, dirt and rust removal.
Great video! This helped out a lot with my project. Did you need to remove the door hardware? Couldn’t you just tape over it?
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
Hi! This is awesome. So you simply pressure wash the places that it spray upon... that works to get any access paint off?
The sprayer helps remove loose paint and dirt. You can even pre wash the door with a degreaser too to help clean
Great job! Did you have a primer coat before spray the the blue paint? Is it necessary to have a primer coat?
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.
What kind of primer do you recommend if the security door has a lot of rust on it?
Home Depot has a rust neutralizer that turns into primer.

Wondering how long did this take from start to finish? Thanks!
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.
What color is that !?!?! I like it, looks great!
I believe it is called Brooklyn Blue by BEHR
What did you use to clean the screen before painting?
Scotch-brite scouring pad was used for preparing the surface for cleaning.
How well has it held up a year later?
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.
Just curious how much paint was used with the sprayer?
1/3 gal. You lose some because of the loss in the air.
What’s the name of the paper and could I used paint spray can which and what brad

Take the door off it’s so much easier 😊
very true but i was still recovering from my knee repair surgery. picking up the door was not an option at the time.
What paint sprayer did you use?
The sprayer is a Wagner Flexio 3000. Sry about the late response. You have to dilute the paint so that the sprayer works well.
why not 2 coats?
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.
I was told to use a paint brush and it's turning out horribly. Seems like electric sprayer is the way to go

The holes in the screen didn't get blocked is it because of the sprayer
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!
What happened to your mask while doing the job?
I was outside so I decided to play dangerous
Can breezes still come through the screen?
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.👍
Wear your mask while spraying
Very true. Extra protection. The paint does not come out as thin as aerosol but better safe than sorry.
You would be better off if you taped the paper on the screen itself-- on the side you were not painting...
Very true
