How to Paint a Six Panel Door
I’m not a painting expert, but I use this method every time I have to paint a six panel door and it’s been working for me over the last 30 years!
Step One:
- Remove the door and lay flat
- Thoroughly clean and dry door
- If using a bright, crazy paint color like mine ; ) you have great taste, but you will probably have to prime first
- Use a good brush (mine is a Purdy – if you take care of it, it will last a long time!)
- Paint the grooves around the panels first
- Next paint the panels above the grooves
- Then paint the inner rails (horizontal, then vertical rails)
- Lastly, paint the outer rails
I painted this bright green door about three years ago and it still looks good today. I thought may I’d get tired of that bright color by now but nope. I still love it!
While we’re talking about door colors, did you see the interior doors in my house that I painted black?
These are the bi-fold doors to my laundry closet in the hallway.
This is the inside of my front door.
And these are my patio doors.
Those black doors are still black. I wanted to live with them for a while before I decided to paint the rest of the interior doors black. I love how they look but I haven’t gotten around to painting the rest of the doors yet. I need to get on that!
This is a great tutorial Jeanie! Breaking it down into simple steps really takes the intimidation factor out of the equation. I’ve been wanting to tackle one of our doors for a while now and this really helps. Thanks for sharing. Pinning!
Looks good, enjoy what you have created.
Your doors are all beautiful. We have these same kind of doors and I have to get into a certain rhythm when I paint them. It is easy once you get it thought out. I have done too many over the years..just did more last weekend. I enjoyed your post.
