Preparation & Priming
The prep began with the removal of loose mouldings, which were then securely reattached using a wood repair compound to ensure their stability. Any joints and areas affected by rot were addressed, restoring the door's structural integrity.
A thorough sanding was carried out to create a smooth and even surface. To ensure a pristine canvas for the paint, the door was fine-sanded and thoroughly cleaned using Maalipesu Cleaning Agent to remove any dust, dirt, and grease.
Finally, the door was undercoated with the highly adhesive Otex Adhesion Primer followed by a coat of Ultra Primer, creating a solid foundation for the topcoat as well as providing protection for its historical charm.
