Using the right paint color can transform any boring door into a magical and vibrant gateway to your living spaces. Painting your doors, however, is easier said than done. You might think this piece of wood is easy to work on, but if you want a professional-looking paint job, you\u2019ll need to paint like a pro. Here are some tips from the\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/housepainting-carmelny.com\/exterior-painting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">best Carmel painting contractor<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0that will help you paint your interior doors as a professional painter would.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0cc36df elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"0cc36df\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">1.

According to\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/housepainting-carmelny.com\/interior-painting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Carmel painting contractors<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, working on a detached door is much easier than a hinged one. After detaching a door, you can lay it on a table and paint it. Once you do, you won\u2019t have to worry about dripping paint across the door and on your floors. It\u2019s also less labor-intensive to paint a horizontally-oriented door than stooping up and down a vertically-oriented one.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-76a9060 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"76a9060\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">2.

Many homeowners commit this mistake, which often results in imperfect paint due to the dirt transferred from the floor to the door. Instead of placing down your interior doors on the ground, prop them on a working table and prop them up using a set painter\u2019s pyramids. These handy pointed plastic tools touch as few surfaces as possible, allowing you to paint the door effortlessly.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5f77e86 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5f77e86\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">3.

If you want to avoid such a scenario, Carmel painting contractors advise you to remove the doorknob before you even paint your interior door. Doing so will prevent paint splashed all over it. But if you can\u2019t remove the doorknob, try protecting it using masking tape.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-53e4b0e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"53e4b0e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">4.

Doing so will make the paint application smooth and without any imperfections. Fill small holes and cracks using gypsum plaster and wood fillers. You can apply these products using a putty knife. After applying them, let them dry for a few hours, and once they\u2019re dry, you can finally start painting your interior door.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c4c71ac elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c4c71ac\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">5.

Hold on; you need to sand and prime it first! Carmel painting contractors recommend you manually sand the door or use a power sander, whatever works for you. Be sure to use\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/home.howstuffworks.com\/difference-between-grits-sandpaper.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">120-grit sandpaper<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Once you\u2019re done sanding the door, grab a clean cloth, dampen it with mineral spirits, and wipe the door. Be sure to grab another clean cloth to eliminate any dirt created during the sanding process. Then, prime the door and let it dry. Finally, sand the surface again, but use 220-grit sandpaper this time.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b04c30c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b04c30c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">6.

If you\u2019re using a roller, apply the paint in a back-and-forth motion. But if you\u2019re using a paintbrush, scraping it off the paint can eliminate any excess paint. Be sure to increase the ventilation in your working space to dry your painted door faster using ceiling and floor fans.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7177bc8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7177bc8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Best Carmel Painting Contractor\u2019s Thoughts on Painting Interior Doors<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ba09424 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"ba09424\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/housepainting-carmelny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/4-grid-04-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-539\" alt=\"Most Trusted House Painting Contractors in Carmel, NY\" srcset=\"https:\/\/housepainting-carmelny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/4-grid-04-1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/housepainting-carmelny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/4-grid-04-1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-797bcc1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"797bcc1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Painting any interior door is a straightforward process that involves little to no complications.
