Mauro Henrique travels to Oklahoma to help a homeowner paint her old front door without taking it off of the hinges.
When a homeowner wanted to give their home’s front door a makeover, paint expert Mauro Henrique knew just what to do. Rather than disturbing the 70-year-old door, he shows the homeowner how to paint it in place to give it a fresh new look that will pop against the home’s brick exterior.
Difficulty: ⅖
Time: One day
Cost: $100
Where to find it?
To protect the glass and door hardware, Mauro carefully covers the glass with sheeting [[ Ссылка ]] and adds painter’s tape [[ Ссылка ]] over the hardware. To protect the surrounding area, Mauro lays out a drop cloth [[ Ссылка ]] onto the floor.
Mauro uses a small metal putty knife [[ Ссылка ]] to fill in large cracks with wood filler [[ Ссылка ]]. After allowing the wood filler to fully dry, Mauro sands the entire door with 220 fine grit sandpaper [[ Ссылка ]]. To remove dust particles, Mauro wipes the door with tack cloth [[ Ссылка ]].
Mauro paints on the base tinted primer [[ Ссылка ]]. To paint the door, Mauro uses an exterior semi-gloss paint [[ Ссылка ]]. Mauro applies two coats of paint with Nylon 2” angled [[ Ссылка ]] and 4” [[ Ссылка ]] nylon brushes.
