In this episode of Paint like a Pro, Resene paint expert Murdo Shaw shows you how to paint an interior door.
Murdo shares a few tricks of the trade to have you painting like a pro! He tells you the best tools to use to achieve the desired finish, as well as step-by-step techniques.
You will need the following:
• Screwdriver (to remove hardware)
• Resene Interior Paintwork Cleaner
• Pro Edge Scraper
• Mötsenböcker’s Lift Off tape, label and adhesive remover (if you have stickers/adhesive on your door)
• Flexible sealant (Murdo uses PAL Zero Gaps 450gm)
• Drop cloth
• Sandpaper
• Cloth/rag for wiping off sanding dust
• Resene Quick Dry waterborne primer undercoat
• Waterborne enamel paint (Murdo is using Resene Lustacryl in Resene Alabaster)
• Paintbrush
• Roller and microfibre roller sleeve (if you're painting a larger door)
• Paint pail or paint pot
Step-by-step instructions:
1. First up, remove hardware such as door handles, locks and coat hooks.
2. Give the door a good clean to remove any residue, like those annoying stickers kids love to put on them (we recommend Resene Interior Paintwork Cleaner).
3. Once the door is dry, give the door a sand, thoroughly deglossing, then wipe off all sanding dust.
4. Fill any gaps or cracks using a flexible sealant (Murdo is using PAL Zero Gaps 450gm). Sand back all areas of filler and wipe off all sanding dust.
5. Apply a coat of Resene Quick Dry waterborne primer undercoat. Let that dry, then lightly sand smooth and wipe off all sanding dust.
6. Using a good quality brush, apply two coats of waterborne enamel paint, allowing the coats to dry in-between. (Murdo is using Resene Lustacryl in Resene Alabaster). For larger doors, you can use a roller with a microfibre roller sleeve.
Top tip from Resene expert Murdo: "When you are brushing, make sure your brushstrokes follow the grain of the wood."
