Excellent job. The timber trim finishes the job off very well

Great job, should have changed your letterbox tho. Brings the door down with such a nice door knocker etc. All the same, impressive transformation 👍

Thanks for the comment. An interesting letterbox would be a great upgrade. One for the list!

Great video, thank you for sharing. Would you apply the same process if wanting to paint external UPVC windows (to match the door)?

Yes, absolutely.

Great video and nice colour choice, the dragon fly is fabulous! How has the paintwork stood the test of time..any peeling/scuffing etc? 🙏🩶

The little roller you used to get rid of brush marks , was it foam ? Thanks

@TeaandForgetmenots 6 ай бұрын

Hi, no it's a microfiber roller from Staalmeester.

I remove hairs using brush tip and then pick it off.

Hi, how does the paint hold up, is it weatherproof for exterior doors without a porch

@TeaandForgetmenots 11 ай бұрын

The paint is perfect so far. Without a porch I would change the sealer from the Clear Coat to Gator Hide.

How many days did this take you to do if you had to apply multiple coats? About to do our front door and trying to work out how long I will need some dry days in sunny England 😂

@TeaandForgetmenots 5 ай бұрын

I don’t remember exactly but it was 7 or 8 coats in total. 24 hours between the base coats. Several hours between colour and sealer coats. It probably took me a week of a few hours a day. A nice dry Spring week will work well. You don’t really want hot weather or direct sunlight as it will dry too quickly.

I've got two curves on my front door - don't want to tape it :(

@TeaandForgetmenots 3 күн бұрын

Because it will be difficult to? There are more flexible modelling tapes that work well for curves.

Hi, how much of the Hampton's paint did you end up using?

@TeaandForgetmenots 3 ай бұрын

Good question, I finished the end of one pot and opened a new one of a different size so it’s hard to say. I’d estimate 8oz as it wasn’t a large area.

Thanks, I'll do some sums and hopefully get it right enough for a door and metal post box!
