Step 1: Prep the door.
Remove all hardware.
Clean the door thoroughly. Then, use a Premium 10-in-1 Multi-Tool to fill any dents and fix other imperfections with putty. Let the putty fully dry.
Lightly sand the surface to ensure a smooth final result.
Thoroughly wipe the surface with a lint-free cloth to remove any dust.
Step 2: Tape.
Tape off any windows and the surrounding trim. Place a drop cloth on the ground.
Step 3: Plan your route & paint.
To maximize efficiency, use the diagram to guide the order in which you paint.
Use your Nylox™ brush to cut in and around windows and recess areas. Nylox™ brushes are super soft and create a perfect finish with no brush marks.
Use your Parrot™ mini roller to paint the flat areas of the door. Parrot’s quality mohair fabric is ideal for creating a smooth, mirror-like finish.
Once the paint is fully cured, peel off the tape and reattach the hardware.
