We've been painting the interior of our house and using a paint sprayer to paint the closet doors is so easy!!. I'm getting ready to paint it again.after we finish the interior of the house and this Fall when the weather is cooler. No chipping, no scratches, no fading that I can tell. The door was painted in 2012 and this is how it looks in 2022. What do you think of the makeover? I can’t believe I didn’t get a before picture of the front of the house. Love the brown shutters and blue door much better than the white shutters, red door, and shiny hardware. We've lost a tree or two to storms and luckily they didn't fall on the house. The shrubs are original to the house and the house was built in 1965. We need to do something about the landscaping. It's really easy to change light fixtures. We also changed out our old, sad, rusty, exterior light fixtures on either side of the door. The JTS painted the house shutters brown and I painted the iron porch posts. The white vintage iron posts really stood out once both doors were painted blue.
Why didn't I think of painting it sooner. The painted metal storm door looks great. I guess I should have painted it too but hey, I don't see that when looking at the door from outside. The only thing I didn't paint was the inside frame of the storm door. I also painted our metal back door after this project turned out so great. I painted all of the weather stripping, metal door casing, and the inside casing between the storm door and the front door blue. You can never go wrong when starting a paint project with a coat of primer. Didn't know if the paint would stick to them either but might as well try it. I decided to paint the handle and door bell the same blue color. The shelf on the step ladder was a great place to set my paint and work tools.
Painter's tape has saved many many times. I taped off all areas I didn’t want to paint accidentally. I've often looked at the frame around the glass storm door wondering how it would look painted to match the front door paint. To tell you the truth I wasn't sure this paint project would turn out okay but I wanted to give it a try anyway. I asked my husband if he thought the metal would paint up ok. It really stood out against the blue door so it got me to thinking. I hated the look of the white metal around the glass storm door. This is how the front door looked after the paint job and the hardware spray paint makeover. I'm a little nutty sometimes.Īnd it's still upside down but isn't the color much better! See the spray paint makeover project here. And yes I know it's upside down thanks to one of my on-the-ball readers. This is how the door knocker looked before painting. Now about that shiny brass hardware I painted. I applied one coat of primer, just enough to give the top coat something to grip to. They needed to be updated and that's a post for a later day.ĭoor primed and ready for paint. I removed the kick plate and the door knocker. Behr Ultra goes on smooth and doesn't chip off.īefore painting I taped off the door knob with painters tape. When doing a job like this I like to be extra sure and prime, prime, prime.

I chose Behr premium Plus Ultra paint and primer for the new paint finish. It is now called PPG Gripper and you can find it at Home Depot.

Update May 2021- They no longer make the Glidden Gripper or it's not named Glidden Gripper. They don't make the grey primer anymore so I have them tint the white primer for me. I find the gray paint color works well under any paint color and is easier to cover than white primer. The red paint on the door is oil-based so it needed priming. We updated the house shutters and the light fixtures on each side of the door this year.
We are slowly upping the curb appeal of our home. I've learned a few things about paint since then and I still have a lot to learn.Īnyway It's time for a paint change. Or maybe I just didn't know what I was doing. Let me tell you.when you use red paint it takes several coats of paint to get good coverage. I think it's the first time I painted a door. I painted our front door red about 15 years ago. I'll show you how I painted the metal and my wood front door too! After you see my painted metal storm door you will want to paint your storm door too.
