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!
How to paint a six panel door the easy way!

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!)

  1. Paint the grooves around the panels first
  2. Next paint the panels above the grooves
  3. Then paint the inner rails (horizontal, then vertical rails)
  4. 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!

    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.
