Here is what I started with...
Go ahead. You can say it..."YUCK!" Trust me - my feelings are not hurt one bit.
Here is the new, primed door after it was installed (you can see how the primed door is a different color than the casing)...
Much, much better already!
I started out by taping off the bottom seal of the door and around the casing. I also taped off the hinges, hardware, and used foil on the handle. It's all ready for paint now - I used my go-to white, Behr's off the shelf Ultra Pure White.
I learned from painting my french doors that you don't need to tape off the windows - the paint will easily scrape off them if you use a razor blade (I use this paint scraper).
Two coats...
And here's a quick round-up so you can see them all together...
The front entry door & the garage entry door are very close to each other and the new paint job is already making that dark corner a bit brighter. It also inspired me to makeover my teeny tiny entryway. I'll be sharing that soon.
