Great job, just in time for my endeavor. Perfect idea to pivot to allow working on both sides. Bravo

Thank you for this video!! I'm about to paint my exterior doors and this helped so much! Not only do I feel confident, because you made it look pretty easy :-), but I'm excited for my doors to look new again like yours. I appreciate you taking the time to post this for us!!!!

Unfortunately I can't take my doors down because of where I'm working, but that is a great idea!!! Getting ready to paint 3 steel doors, thanks for all the great tips.

We find treasure like this all the time!!! We use acid on rust. Great educational video.

Great vid. My steel door is very smooth. What primer is best for this?

Exterior doors often the rust comes from interior, make sure you remove the drain plugs. This the root cause of most rust.

You have flipping skills lol. Nice tip on painting the door!

I've done this to my basement door, but the rust, even if pin sized, continues to bleed back through. I sanded, then used a file for heavier rust areas. I've used metal primer, then bonding primer, then high quality trim paint. Because it continues to bleed back through, I'm guessing I did not remove the rust enough, so I should sand/file again or do that plus Bondo layer to encapsulate it. Any thoughts? I saw that Ospho you mentioned, would that be right for this application?

I've been working on this door multiple times in the last month, but saw the rust this morning. I found your video afterward, thanks so much.

Store those rollers in the fridge and you can come back a year later. They'll still be good.
But I wonder if you store it in the freezer would it be a lifetime roller... Hmmm.

great tips, but why didn't you remove the hinges & lock & paint the 2 side edges?

Great if you're able to take the door down. I'm not able to do this.

I have an exterior steel door painted white. I have some surface rust
corrosion that is raised / bubbled in areas. Your video does not
discuss what to do about that type of rust. My concern is that because
it is raised, if I do some sanding that it may reveal holes. Thoughts?

Do you have to use steel primer ? Or will the Bin primer be ok ?

OK..question, what if it's an exterior door and being Chicago, I can't remove the door and leave a gaping hole? also, what kind of paint should I use for a door exposed to the elements?
