How to paint wood - step by step
Preparing before painting
Before you begin painting a door frame, it is recommended that you thoroughly protect the walls and the floor from being marked by paint spatter. This can be done using masking tape and a drop cloth. The tape should be secured to a dry surface, and it is best to remove it right after painting to help prevent the new paint coat from coming off with the tape.
Preparing before painting
Prior to painting, the wood must be lightly sanded with fine-grit sandpaper, and then any dust must be thoroughly removed with a clean brush. Previously painted surfaces: check the adhesion of the old paint to the substrate, scrape off any loose areas and fill in all cavities with a wood filler. Sand the wood with sandpaper to even out and roughen the surface, and then thoroughly remove any dust.
Preparing the product
For priming, use Jedynka Pokost Lniany, thin it to a 1:1 ratio using Jedynka's low-odor thinner for phthalic and alkyd-based products, and then mix thoroughly.
Priming the surface
Apply Jedynka Pokost Lniany by rubbing it into wood with a paintbrush.
Preparing the surface
After 24 hours from priming, use a fine-grit sandpaper to sand the door frame surface gently to smooth the surface. Next, remove any dust thoroughly with a clean brush.
Preparing the product
Paint the surface using Jedynka Deco & Protect Drewno i Metal Mat.enamel paint. Right before painting, stir the paint to mix it thoroughly, and then pour it into the paint tray.
