1 qt 275266 Elegant Front Door Paint Water-Based Exterior Enamel

I LOVE this paint. Whenever you paint a door you either have to leave the door open for several days so it cures or you end up with the fresh paint sticking to the door frame & it peels & just looks awful. I thought it was super expensive when I 1st bought it BUT the guy said he would refund it even after I used it if I didn't like it. So I bought it. That was 7 years ago. BUT the door looks amazing AND hasn't faded in the 7 years since I painted it. When I wanted to touch it up (It has a few cracks in the caulking & a few dings & scraps from me banging into it with ladders, etc..) I found out that the paint shop closed during the plague. I freaked out... Amazon to the rescue! They had it & I ordered another jar of it This stuff is amazing. The 1st time I did it everyone said Prepping was the most important part so I washed the door, let it dry over night & used exterior caulk on the details the weekend before. The day before I primed the door & let it dry. I started early in the day. I painted the door & was able to put on 3 (count 'em THREE) coats & have them dry before nightfall!! So to repair my dings, I am gonna wash, prime & paint it in the next couple of weeks. Wonderful colors too! And who wouldn't want a door painted with a paint called "Happy"?!?

Smooth and easy to use The color is perfect

Lovely paint. Lovely results. It was easy, too. Here's how I did it in pictures. YOU can definitely do this. I hope this helps at least a few reluctant painters. A great paint job is really all about preparation, which means assembling the right tools before you start. TOOLS I USED: 1. Purdy 144080310 1-Inch Angular Trim Dale Brush, X-Large 2. Artist brush, #8 Filbert, for touch-up. Guerrilla Painter Short Handle Bristle Brush, Set of 4, Filberts 3. Shur-Line 3700C 4-Inch Foam Mini Roller with 12-Inch Handle Make sure your roller is for SMOOTH SURFACES. It will probably specify "doors and cabinets." The 4-inch size is perfect. The 6-inch size is clumsy for this job but it would work. 4. One zipper lock bag, sandwich size. Protects brushes between coats. 5. One zipper lock freezer bag, quart size. Protects roller between coats. 6. One zipper lock bag, gallon size. Protects paint tray between coats. A small trash bag will work if your tray is too large for a gallon bag. 7. Disposable plastic paint tray like FoamPRO 306 Mini Roller Paint Tray, 6" . I actually reused a plastic vegetable container that previously held a pound of mushrooms. It just needs to be a little larger than the roller. 8. Several paper towels 9. Less than one roll of painters' tape. The 1-inch size (actually 0.94") is fine for this job. Scotch ScotchBlue Painter's Tape 2090-24A, .94 in x 60 yd (24 mm x 54,8 m) - 0.94" Width x 60 yd Length - Rubber Resin - Adhesive, Residue-free - 1 Roll - Blue . A local source may be less expensive. 10. Some old plastic as a drop cloth 11. Paper for masking glass, etc. Newspaper works fine. I already had some rolled brown paper so I used it. Trimaco GP12 General Purpose Masking Paper, 12-Inch x 180-Feet, Brown 12. Keep hands neat with disposable gloves. Ammex AINPF Indigo Nitrile Glove, Medical Exam, Latex Free, Disposable, Powder Free, Large (Box of 100) 13. And of course, the paint. PHOTOS: 1. Paint comes packaged like peanut butter. Sealed well. Easy to open. 2. Door surface may be smooth or textured. This JELD-WEN "smooth" fiberglass door has just enough surface to hold paint. 3. I removed the latch and deadbolt. You could leave them installed and mask them. The glass panel is masked along with the sweep at the bottom and the latch side of the door. On the inside of the door, not shown, is masking at the top and along the hinge side. 4. To neatly mask hinges, overlap several strips of tape, a half inch or so above and below the hinge. Then use a utility knife to gently cut along the edge of the hinge. Peel off the excess. Rub the edges to be sure they adhere. 5. Before starting brush work, "marinate" your roller. Pour some paint in the quart bag. Put the roller in. Zip bag closed. Make sure the entire roller surface is wet with paint. This eliminates splotchy coverage when you first start rolling. There's not much surface area on a door to "work in" the paint to the roller, thus the "marinated" roller technique. 6. Most doors have panels or trim details. Use brush to paint the parts that are not flat. Leave the flat surfaces for the roller. 7. You don't have to paint a perfect edge. Just wipe the flat edge with a paper towel to smooth out any paint. You only need SMOOTH, not clean. 8. Paint the top of the door. Nobody will see it, but this helps keep a wood-framed door from warping. 9. Paint the hinge side the same color as the door. (The latch side is usually the same color as the inside of the door.) 10. Bag your wet brush right away. It's okay if the handle sticks out. 11. Get to work with your marinated roller. 12. Roll the top. 13. Roll the rest of the rails. 14. Roll the flat part of the panels. 15. Bag your tools while the first coat dries. This paint dries nicely--probably one hour. Then do it all one more time. Carefully remove all masking. Wash your brushes with water. Rollers are hard to clean--I usually pull them off the handle and dispose. Easy. Right? I am REALLY PLEASED WITH THIS PAINT. Otherwise I never would have written such a long and detailed review. Thanks for reading. Good luck with YOUR door.

I ordered the Modern Master's Door Paint in the color Spiritual several months ago, but things came up and I was not able to get to use it until now. Today it was in the 70's so I decided it was time to paint the door and change the lock on the door. I love the color!!!! My house is red brick with beige and white trim and I was a little worried about painting the door purple, but hey, it is my house, I can paint the door any color I want, and if someone does not like it, they don't have to look! I think it came out really nice. The paint went on very nice, but after the first coat I was afraid I was going to have to do three coats, but two covered nicely. I used a foam roller and a regular paint brush. After it dried, I could not see any brush marks. On the second coat, I did get some air bubbles in the paint, but I think I was pressing to hard with the roller. So after I lighted up my touch, it cut down on the number of air bubbles. After it fully dried, the air bubbles that did remain were verily visible. I only painted one side of the door, and have a lot of paint left over. I will be saving it for touch ups, but I hope I don't need it. The new lock set I put on was a brushed nickel and it looks so good on the purple door. Some tips for everyone else. Buy the best roller and brush you can. I went with the cheap ones as I am on a very tight budget, but if you are a perfectionist, you will be much happier with the better ones.

Love the colour!! Easy to apply on my fibreglass door.

Great color

I was very bored by my cheap, white door. But since costs of everything are skyrocketing, I wanted an inexpensive update. My best advice is to prep prep prep. There were a few really great, detailed reviews that I found super helpful before. I really cleaned the door well, taped and put down drop cloths everywhere. I also chose to prime my door before, because it's not new and I wanted to make sure this paint applied well. The paint is quite thick and covers REALLY well. I used a brush for the trim (as one of the reviews suggested) and also followed their suggestions for the roller choice. It was SUPER easy and dried well and then I worked on the 2nd coat. 2 coats is enough, but I might apply a 3rd, just for really intense coverage and because when I removed the tape a chip came off. Overall I am EXTREMELY happy with this product and have TONS left over. A little really goes a long way. All my neighbours were super impressed. Many thought we had replaced the door, and when I told them it was paint, they were blown away. I would definitely recommend this product.

Exterior door . Worked amazing . Doesn’t use much to get great coverage . Really a great value for the dollar !!

Beautiful colour
