I painted all of the doors in our new basement. Here are my best tips to get the job done.

The blog post has more details including links to the black door knobs.

Thank you for saying over the course of three days. Sometime small projects take me a week or more with 2 small kiddos

Even car painting channels dont give you this advice: "remove tape while paint still wet!" Which to me is TOP tip. Bravo. :)

The nap time tip is exactly what I needed

If you line your paint tray using foil or plastic, it's simple to keep clean.

Taping very rarely will leave nice edges. Always remove knobs, a minute more for BETTER results. I need to put in fridge, just place a plastic bag over and seal. Don't know who told you to put paint in the frig.

Nice doors.
In fact the way you choose to paint is probably how 99% of people paint their doors.
Great stuff

You don’t have to put the wrapped brushes in the fridge. I leave mine out but wrapped. The doors look great!

My dad is a retired decorator and he just wraps the rollers and brushes in a plastic bag and then puts them somewhere. To be fair if you have finished you should clean them but if it isn’t hot this will keep them wet for a while

I like the doors. I was thinking of changing my mirror bifold doors.

Ok Tysm I tried this out I looked amzing

I use a small roller, brush, piece of cardboard for the floor and a rag damp with warm water. No tape, hardware stays on. Cut in the edges and around hardware. I like to use a 2” angled brush and pull it at 45degress with a slight twist to create a full stroke of paint with a crisp edge that won’t leave a bead of paint. Takes practice, I’m not saying I’m the greatest painter but I dont use tape cause I can use my rag to clean up mistakes while the paints still wet. And Always! Wash your brushes throughly when you’re done, don’t leave it full of paint. 😮😅

do NOT put in the fridge, the fumes are bad to breathe in let alone marinade in your food 😂

[marsho]

What kind of paint type she used? Or need to use ?.matte of flat or semi-gloss ?

[rttnmlk]

You can rinse your brushes and rollers with water lol They will be just as clean as you need it to be lol

[skyewilson]

Great video. Only thing missing is what size roller/brush you used😜

[layneperry]

U can just put the roller on a Ziploc bag....it will hold just leave it on the counter

[steveforster]

Good job...also you honestly don't need to put them in the fridge aslong as the bag is air tight your good as they cannotbdry out but don't leave more than a day maybe 3 tops...and lightly sand inbetween coats..

Important tip. Use a premium paint so you don’t have to do too many coats.
