@Mirk0waR A wet edge is basically keeping the paint wet while you are working. If you were to move too slowly while painting this door (or painted it in the sun or something), and some parts partially dried and then you went over them while they were partially dried, you would see where you went over the partially dried area with your most recent brush stroke. Keeping a "wet edge" will make your finished product look much nicer.
@redrider736 On this particular door we just applied two coats of finish. But yes we sanded before we applied the first coat, and no we did not sand between the first and second.
Hey nice job. I learned how to paint a steel door and this should help out greatly. I liked your poindt about cleaning the door and the paint. When the door has paint particles from the pant or the sanding in it stands out every time I open the door. Good point about the brushing directions. Thanks for sharing this video. Best wishes. BTW my door had grease on it and the tsp would help a lot.
@TrimlinePaintingInc my system with cover stain is the BEST way to paint a new factory primed steel door..............its amateurish of you not to prime it again before painting it with a top coat.. wash it all you want but the bottom line is that your top coating over factory JUNK primer
@BradMr1975 Define best. My job sticks just fine, and if that's the case than what's the reason to put another coat of primer on? Is it because you "hear" that the primer they use is garbage, so you must therefore cover it with a better primer? I agree that the factory primers used to be a lot better, but until I begin to have a problem with adhesion for my finish coat, I will stick with saving time and money.
i always oil prime a factory primed door......... you have no idea what kind of primer they use, i hear its latex junk............ same goes with exterior pre primed trim...always prime again before you top coat
steel is not a very porous material to begin with.... so Einstein how much grease do you think got absorbed in the first place??? .... most grease on a door is ''SURFACE'' grease and can be sanded off and any left can be sealed with a good oil primer .......... go back to painting MOMS bedroom newb ........oh and another thing have you ever tried to stain a steel door??? lol didnt think so, now if you cant stain a steel door then explain to me how GREASE can absorb into it???
@BradMr1975 I think Brad needs a hug. Let’s go though and discuss his criticisms logically though, as he does bring up some good points. First of all I agree that your system using cover stain would be another good way to paint a new door like this, and probably not have any problems. With that said however, to say that the system I use here is wrong and or amateurish is laughable.
@BradMr1975 Using my method with TSP will result in a product that will adhere as well as your system and additionally my system will take less time and money to apply. I will save money not having to buy the cover stain, paint thinner or any other additional brushes or buckets. I will save time in the set up, clean up, and dry time of the cover stain. Your arguments with regards to drywall and surface grease I find irrelevant to the conversation
@BradMr1975 as I am not using cover stain for the above reasons. True some doors can bypass the washing step altogether if they are clean, but to omit this step for beginners would do them a disservice should the door actually need cleaning. I could debate this further, but I think anyone thinking rationally will get the point. Jason - 1 Dave - 0
i cant beleive you washed the door down with TSP lmao..................seriously just sand it down then re prime with cover stain then 2 coats of finish. listen to me when i say this. what do you do when theres grease on drywall??? do you wash the fucking drywall???? noooooooooo then why the hell are you washing the door??? you prime the drywall right???? and the finish sticks right???? same goes for doors.......... stop making bad videos confusing people
Suprisingly, this video WAS helpful! I thought it was an obvious subject, but I actually learned a lot from your video. Thanks!

Do I sand with 220 grit before the Primer coat ? Is there any sanding needed after the Primer Coat. ThX

I don't think you mentioned taking the weatherstripping off? Maybe I missed that part.
Also, I hear you can't get TSP in some states. And did you rinse it with clean water after washing with TSP?

Superb!!! Exactly what I needed to know right down to the brushstroke direction! Plus my choice of semi-gloss was vindicated.
