Education/Credentials I learned how to hang wallpaper at the West Valley Occupational School in Van Nuys California in 1978.
I replaced 15 interior doors in my home and now have the pleasure of having to paint them all. Are there any tips that you can share to make things go smoother? I'd like to at least get a good amount of them painted in one day and them re-hang them the next. Do you normally stand them up and paint them or put them on a horse? I am using Benjamin Moore semi-gloss white. Do you recommend one or 2 coats on these pre-primed doors? Also would you use a roller on the flat parts of the door or strictly a brush?
Thanks!
Answer There are a few ways to do your job.
What I would do is stand them up and spray them (2 coats).
Or
You could hang the doors and brush and roll them while they are hanging. (Use the roller to get the paint on the door, then "back brush" it. Make sure to use a lint free roller.) I'd suggest semi gloss and 2 coats.
Or
You could lay them down on saw horses and do one side at a time.
With this method, the paint won't run since the doors are laid flat.
It you do put the paint on with a roller, make sure you "back brush" them. Hope that helps...any other questions, just ask...
