Timelapse: Repaint a Front Door | Exterior Door Painting | Strip, Prime, Sand, Color | Fiberglass

Repainting a front door is more than just grabbing your brush and new color.

To make a old door with peeling paint look new you have to:
* Remove the old layers of paint first by stripping off the old paint.
* Then add two layers of primer.
* Next, sand the primer for a smoother color coat.
* Roll / brush on the first layer of paint, sand in between, then add the final layer of paint.

With these steps you get a professional grade finish that will last far longer than the last paint jobs combined.

This timelapse is the first video in a playlist to give you the overall idea for what it takes to repaint a fiberglass exterior door.

If you do not have peeling, chalky or otherwise failing paint you can get away with sanding and painting...more details in next week's blog post!

Full disclosure on the thumbnail: the "after" photo also looks better because the screen door was also refreshed from beige to white. A future video / blog combo to come...
