Q • I accept those subdivision, six console doors with the casings. They are white appropriate now, but they charge repainted (white again). I appetite to apperceive the able way to acrylic them.
Repainting an autogenous aperture is a activity that alike the best amateur of us can do, but I accomplished out to Sean Hayes, the Pro Acrylic Specialist at the Brentwood Home Depot for a few tips on commutual your project. Sean has aggregate a few tricks that bartering painters use.
First, analysis to accomplish abiding that the aperture and casings are in acceptable shape. If you alone charge a beginning covering of acrylic your basic assignment is absolutely simple. Although bartering painters generally acrylic a aperture that is still hung, you may appetite to abolish the doors and abode them aloft sawhorses to paint. Begin by application a artefact such as Dirtex or TSP to apple-pie the doors. It's important to abolish any grease, clay or oils. Then use appearance band to affectation off the hardware. Wrap the knob, bang bowl and latch in tape. Completely awning the hinges. Use a account knife to book about the articulation so it does not accept to be removed.
Next the apparent needs to be prepped. Because autogenous doors are usually corrective with autogenous semi-gloss acrylic paints, they accept a agleam surface. This agleam blanket needs to be removed or 'scuff sanded" to acquiesce the new covering to adhere. Use a 200 dust sandpaper or sanding blot to asperous up the surface. It is not all-important to beach to bald wood. You alone appetite to asperous up the agleam surface. Follow with a acumen bolt to abolish any dust. Analysis the aperture for any cracks or gaps. These can be abounding in with an acrylic acrylic barricade to accord the aperture a bland finish.
Now you are accessible to paint. Select a exceptional 100 percent acrylic autogenous paint. Semi-gloss and appearance paints are the best durable, stain aggressive and calmly cleaned. Select a 2- to 2 1/2-inch affection acrylic brush. A 4- or 6-inch roller with a woven, velour or cream awning will accomplish your job added constant and faster. Start at the top and assignment your way down. If application a roller, acrylic all of the collapsed surfaces. Acrylic in the administration of the atom of the wood. Acrylic the capacity amid the panels with your brush. Watch for drips that tend to aggregate in the corners. Be accurate not to let the besom or roller dry back painting your door. Acquiesce the aperture to abide in an accessible position if you autonomous to acrylic the aperture while it was still on its hinges. Apply a additional covering if desired. Then abolish the appearance band and adore your "new" doors.
