Painting your front door is an easy and enjoyable task. It is a one-day project that can make the world of different to the appearance of your home with only a little preparation. 
 

Sandtex Technical Consultant, Matthew Brown, gives a few insightful tips to get great results:

 

  • “When painting onto natural wood ensure surface is clean by wiping with a damp cloth soaked in methylated spirit. 
  • Make sure to sand the surface first if painting onto already coated wood. Updating your front door 
  • Use an appropriate primer that will provide a foundation for the paint to sit on.
