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.
