Wood is a very complex texture that requires a special approach in work. That is why, in order to paint wooden doors with high quality, it is necessary to strictly follow the technology and use the right materials and tools.

Where to start?

Any painting work begins with preparation. Your future final result of the work directly depends on this.

Before starting painting, it is best to remove the doors from the hinges. This will help avoid unsightly paint drips and ensure even application.

You also need to remove all fittings. If the doors have glass inserts, then they should be taped over with film using masking tape.

Next, you need to prepare the canvas itself:

  1. Remove all old layers of paint. You can use a sharp spatula, but there is a risk of damaging the wood itself. Therefore, it is better to use SP-6 ZEBRA old paint remover, which quickly and safely removes old coating.
  2. Important! Work with the remover in a well-ventilated area, be sure to protect your hands and respiratory organs.
  3. After removing the old paint, dust and debris must be removed from the door surface.
  4. All irregularities, cracks, and gaps need to be puttied. Use TRIORA acrylic wood filler for this. It is easy to apply and provides excellent adhesion to the surface. After the filler dries – treat the uneven surface with fine sandpaper.
  5. Before painting, the wood must be treated with TRIORA wood protection primer. It penetrates deeply into the structure of the wood and provides protection against mold and rot. In addition, using a primer will significantly reduce the amount of paint needed.
