I’m so lucky I found you , UKposts Chanel. Thank you so much for sharing everything detail I’m planning to painting my whole house door trim ceiling wall , trim is my way to go. Thank you again.

Thank you! You make great videos. I do apartment maintenance and I just decided to do more in-house painting after watching a few videos. This place is gonna start looking better

Note 1) tape off any hinges 2) sand door and wipe off after 3) make sure there's something under to catch any paint but also to keep the door from moving 4) paint edges 5) paint the things that reccess with brush 6) use roller cover rest of door (when doing edges you don't wanna have a lot of paint on the roller)

I have been putting off painting my interior doors until I saw your video! I think that armed with your video & tips I can do it! Thank you! Love your videos, you are amazing good at what you do! We appreciate you.😊❤

Tip #5 Be sure to wear a black t-shirt so you can brush up against the door with it to know when the paint is truly dry

Thanks! I'm ready to paint my indoor doors and you nailed all the details I needed. You're awesome!

Great video. Thanks for all the helpful tips

I have several doors I need to paint. Thanks for the tips!

This is a great video, especially the tips on how to not mess with removing the door, and the Floetrol really does make a difference in open time and brush marks 🤘🤘

💕the Canadian links….THANKS!!

Wonderful explanation! Well done. Peace be with you.

thanks for the tip man. i didn’t think to use shims under the door.. always had a problem keeping the door still and taping off the hinges. thank you!

It's funny in the end lol, thanks for your sharing. good work, mate.

Thanks for sharing. I always remove the door and hardware. Use saw horses with a centered nail on each end of the door so you can flip it over easily. More time, but clean results.

Thanks for another to the point video! I have to paint the interior trim and 10 six panel doors. I'd be happy to let you do the doors for another video. LET ME KNOW!!!!!

I have smooth, 6 panel doors. I sprayed most of them with a paint sprayer but I did have to do a couple by hand. I rolled them and then back brushed them. That gave me a finish I was happier with than just rolling. Floetrol and water to thin was also my friend.

Thank you 😊

Thanks!

Love how the shower head ring was fixed half way!

Excellent ideas…

Good job thank you

Thanks for the tips 👍

your work is great, thanks for sharing

Thanks for your video.

Removing the door makes it so much easier

Wow, you must have ESP! I was thinking about painting my door when your video showed up! Thanks for the tips!

I didn’t realize until after a minute in the video, he sounds like Luke Wilson 😂 that’s awesome ⭐️

Thanks for the tips! Do you suggest melamine or semi gloss paint for door painting?

I have a 6 panel wood door with a light glossy clear stain over it . I sanded it but I'm not sure if there is a certain primer I should use or if I can cheat and go with a paint&primer combo?

Ive been a contract painter for years and never had to use paint extenders or cond8tioners. Warming your paint is a good tip = pop the lid first! Its all about keeping a wet edge you can work to. For doors i go down to below the door handle. This is where my wet edge begins to fail. I work from the bottom up to blend both halves of the door. If there is any rippling in the finish its below the sight line. Thats how City and Guilds were teaching it in 1986.

superb vid .... and it's always a bigger struggle than it seems and ya explained all the issues wonderfully. Bravo! Hope ya have a fantastic weekend thanks again

well done video!

Painting doors is one of my favorite things to do! 😀 well... doing baseboard might be more fun..... of course I'm kidding. Thanks for the tips !

How do you paint the bottom edge without taking the doors off? The warranty will be voided if not sealed

When finishing with the brush, paint is harder to work with because it's drier by then. Is this to be expected or should I add more paint to the brush? Yes, I do use Floetrol.

Awesome video. What grit sandpaper did you use?

I never seen that stuff you add it to the paint to give you more time to work that’s great I strain the paint every day I’m working as soon as I see the paint dry on the sides of the Duce bucket it’s winter time in Maryland where I am from but when the sun comes threw the window and I have to keep the heat at least on 70 degrees because of the dogs when I’m working I get hot and there’s a lot of sun coming through the windows in the family room so I got to make sure I keep the paint out of it in the shade and in the room that’s cool and what I’m not using take it down to the basement Are used to strain the gallons into a 5 gallon home depo bucket but much easier to do 2 gallons at a time in a white deuce bucket def gona try that I can’t remember the name offhand to make you be able to work with the paint longer Since I am paint my family room so often and I use eggshell on the walls and eggshell on the trim I will paint the trim first then just tape the top of the trim then I always I have white Duce bucket for every color so i can keep the paint strain and using eggshell is like using semi gloss I’ll let it dry up in the sunlight take it up to the sanitary sink run hot water and peal it out most of the time I get most of it out of there and if I don’t I just keep a plug in the sink so that dry paint don’t go in the sink You have some great videos I always learn somthing new every time I work in the house 👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏

What's the best type of paint for doors like this? Latex, enamel, other? Also, what sheen is best? (e.g., eggshell, satin, gloss?) Thank you for the great video!

Great video bud!!!🍻

Best video so far. Thank you so much. I need to start this project soon. Any recommendation on the best paint to use?

Cool door

What about painting the surrounds and base boards - brush or roller?

Great tips. My only change is to actually remove the door for its prep work (filling dents/scratches, sanding, priming, first finish coat, etc. - all the messy stuff can be done outside). Then rehanging the door for its final coat as per the rest of your helpful hints.

Question? Just painted barn with the black metal accessories and some paint got on black handle.. Any ideas how to get off semigloss paint off of it.

LOL man like me went took the whole door off then came looking for tips duh. Mind you my place was built in the 60's the internal doors have had at least three coats of gloss over the last 60 years or so. Over the last year or so they have gone a custardy colour ew. I started stripping the paint with a heat gun; the previous muppets have painted over the hinges (I got them off). My door will be stripped ready for gloss real soon and then I have another 3 to do afterwards - give me strength! Thanks for the tips nonetheless! I do have a question; we are from different countries me being in the UK but i wanted to know if they changed formulas with gloss paint in the US? Here they don't use solvents anymore (I believe) so the gloss turns quicker as it loses colour and turns custard. Any tips appreciated.

is sanding necessary is the door is already smooth? Or, can you get away with just cleaning?

What grit sandpaper did you use?

Tip, 5? Use a small amount of Vaseline on the hinge side door edges to keep the paint from peeling when you're significant other or kids (never you) close the door to soon before completely dry, or when hot and muggy, etc. to avoid peeling on the edge and having to paint it over, and over, and over. "You're welcome." (Say that last part like the woman in My Cousin Vinny when on the stand). ;)

I live in an apartment and doors are a very off white almost yellow so I'm going to paint them... but I am not sure they are really wood. Are any doors real wood theses days except for super high end homes? Any lway, what if the are plastic, they sound very hollow... any advice would help!

Can you please tell me what sheen type did you use for the doors ?

That beard is a beast! I’m jealous!!

Why roll first but not brush first? That way to get the texture covered and roll out the brush marks right after

Do you have put primer on the door first?

Do you have a link for the 5mm nap roller you mentioned? I've now spent longer on these 3 smooth, hollow-core, pre-primed doors than I have painting an entire 2-bed apartment, and I feel utterly defeated. I first used a Wooster Pro "smooth to semi-smooth" roller and got a consistent finish .. however it left so much stippling texture I just couldn't believe it, like the texture of a bath towel. I really didn't want to rent a sprayer and deal with that whole hassle, so I tried this 6 1/2" Wooster Pro "smooth surfaces" sponge roller. After half a gallon of paint and three days of experimentation, I've not been able to get the roller to leave a consistent finish - no matter what, it leaves evidence of where it's been. Using Glidden semi-gloss. I've tried: -Floetrol -varying pressure in my arm -varying speed, from measured & steady to as-fast-as-I-can-physically-move (slightly better results, but flung paint specks 12ft+ around the whole room) -different ambient temperatures from 64-70F -soaking the roller vs. drying it out before pulling paint -gobbing the paint onto the door in one go then spreading (big mistake, obviously) -applying just enough paint in small sections at a time If/when I ever get the paint to roll out consistently in one section, the roller always leaves a pronounced line at its edges, making overlapping impossible. The only thing I can think to do at this point is to dump the rest of this bottle of Floetrol into the remaining paint, get the largest "smooth to semi-smooth" roller I can find, then roll the door as quickly as possible and hope the Floetrol will prevent such pronounced texturing. Maybe even lay the doors out horizontally on a table so gravity will pull the paint flat. So, I'm intrigued that you mention a roller with a nap for a smooth door rather than a foam one, and at this point I'll give anything a try. Cheers.

Great video, thank you ! However, my paint is drying SO much faster than 5 to 7 minutes even with Flowtrol in it ! There is no way I could roll the whole door then brush which is the technique I've been using, but trying to do each door jam and door section by section which is taking me FOREVER ! Behr from Home Depot seems to have a good reputation. Temperature is in around 70 F in the house. Wondering what my problem is. What brand of paint do you use ?

👍👍👍

I painted a door last week, 100% differently than this. And now I am regretting all of my choices. 🤣

Tip for hinges painting replace hinges with cheap ones when done replace keep cheap for next time

If you get paint on hinge , is there a way to get it clean without taking them off?😊❤ previously none by past owners…😅

Is that paint an oil based paint. What would be the best

What grit sanding block do you recommend?

Hi wall paint is good for doors ??

Is that semi gloss you paint the doors?

Oil or water based paint???

Before you paint,do you paint with primer first?

Ok, great! I can do this, I can do this. Question for you, I have always used "scotch blue tape" and it bleeds. You use "frog" tape a lot, no chance of it bleeding? Thank you!!!!!

Do you use oil base or water based

Are you using oil based paint ?

what paint did you use?

Don't do your edges first! If you have to much paint on your roller it will ooze over on to the flat part of each side of the door. Dry roll it after you do your fronts.

I just did that....with 2 doors. It was okay but your tricks will be useful on my next two.. Thanks. Cheers from Ottawa.

I didn't find a link for the foam roller 😢

How much paint do i need for a door like that one?

What kind of paint product do you recommend to paint an inside door?

It dozen make sense

Door often seem to stick after they're painted...and then the paint chips where it was sticking, even if the door worked fine before. Any advice?

Rachel!!

Is it just the top layer of gloss that needs to be sanded off

If you need to paint more than one coat of paint, do you have to wait for the first coat to completely dry?

I've read elsewhere that you need to filter Floetrol before using?

you forgot to mention what kind of pain to use on wooden or metal door - can you post that

How do you keep the freshly painted door from sticking to the door stop. No matter how long I wait, even weeks later, it’s still sticks and eventually pulls paint off the door. Help?

What's the nap size on the roller?

I did a terrible job, first of all i don't have patience and the door iss duck egg yellow and gloss and i just threw white paint on there and its streaking down...ive given up and i actually was searching for how to wallpaper a door as that's the only thing i will do to it and live with...the roller was leaving a crumb like texture and im done...

If you try brushing it after you roll it it can leave horrible drag marks in them.

Never paint without Floetrol !!! He is correct that most Latex paints will dry out too fast.

No primer?

Step 1. paint entire door including hinges and doorknob 😂😂😂

Had I seen this 24 hours earlier, I would’ve saved myself 6 hours of having to try to reattach my door only to find that it now rubs against the jam and doesn’t shut properly…

Ah! so you're NOT supposed to get the door paint all over the floor? Didn't know that. That's how I sign my work.

How much work have you done on that specific door now? Poor door. Always the example for every project! 😆

Use vaseline on the hinges and door knob (*(*

🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

Is it just me...or are 95% of these videos filled with unintentional sexual innuendos? 😁 Especially any episode involving caulking! 😂

That's weird I was literally gonna paint a door today

Where is clean door?

Take the doors off and put on saw horses.

Great tips, but where was the funny man when I replaced ALL my hollow core flat panel with solid six ones 25 yrs ago. Was there even internet back then? Thanks. Wow 200k….. when did that happen?

They are called RECESSES not reveals.

End up spending hours doing 1 door
