Can you spray paint wood doors.

Don t backroll the primer. Spray painting is an easy way of achieving a smooth even finish on wood furniture this is especially true of items that have intricate designs. I worry about tops and bottoms on exterior doors. Whereas painting with a brush can result in drips and brush marks spray paint can give you a near perfect look.

Start your spray slightly off the top of the door and while the paint is spraying move the sprayer in even up and down motions top to bottom. The painting technique is very similar to the same way i ve always used a can of spray paint. Set the doors on a turntable when spray painting. The absolute best way to paint a door is with real paint through a real paint sprayer but i know this is hard for a diy er to do.

Then you can stand in one spot and rotate the door to paint each side. Spraying the doors only required pockets of 10 15 minutes at a time and freed up a lot of time to do other things. I needed to start with spray painting the trim before i removed the door. Plus the paint in a can of spray paint is thinned down so that it will spray nicely through the small nozzle so in the end it may not be as durable as a full strength paint and it may not cover well.

This allows you access to all sides. Keep the nozzle 10 to 12 in. My childhood dresser is beautiful but the wood stain looks faded. From the door and maintain a consistent angle while spraying.

I opted to remove the door just easier to paint that way and opted to spray paint since my door has a lot of raised panels to paint around. Highly recommend going this route if you have a bunch of doors to paint. Once the doors were dry it was time to add the new hinges and knobs and rehang the doors.
