I Am Momma
Finally, finally. After two years, we’ve finally gotten around to painting the cream interior doors we inherited when we purchased our town home. What a difference it makes to have all the doors and trim consistent with one another—downstairs was painted white by the previous owners, while they only painted certain doors white upstairs. (Why?)
Whether called flat finish or wall paint , this type of interior paint has a matte surface. This paint finish is usually used on interior walls. It's expecially good if you have to camouflage small wall bumps, cracks, or other imperfections, as this finish does not reflect light. While some flat paints are advertised as washable today, you may need to touch up scratches or marks by covering with a bit more paint, so be sure you keep some on hand after you've finished painting.
Doors can be awkward to remove from their frames, so it’s often easier to paint them in place. That way, you can paint both sides without having to wait for one side to dry. You also don’t have to worry about nicking the fresh paint when you re-hang the door. Applying enamel paint to a vertical surface such as a door does make drips more likely to occur. Take care of drips immediately by working them in with the brush before they have time to dry. Panel Doors
Using this paint, it took (1 )can to paint for each closet bi-fold door and (2 1/2) cans to spray our larger interior doors. This paint sells for around $3.50 per can at our local store. Spray painting does take a little time to get use to so I would suggest that you practice on a scrap piece of wood first. If you do not want to use spray paint then I would suggest you use RUST-OLEUM acrialic sytle paint in quart size cans. This paint will give you a really nice finish.
