Spray it with an HVLP! Set up and prep takes a few minutes but well worth the time. You can then put multiple coats of smooth, brush free finish on the door. Nice! In short, spraying is faster and gives a far superior finish.

@nicksflixworld Great idea, but most homeowners can't afford to buy a tool like that. They rely on brushes and rollers.

I think it is a good video and I am not a pro, but I am pretty sure the horizontal members are the rails and the vertical members are the stiles. Check this out!

@wesleytarbuck Thanks! I was never a full-time painter, but did thousands of hours in my career. Plus, I surrounded myself with pro painters who did all the work in my home. If you pay attention to what they do, it's easy to pick up the technique.

@gagootz1 no you wouldnt, because it has to dry, then be re-coated, and re-assembled

airless is much quicker of course but be realistic, you have to allow to set up the spray, remove the door furnishings, prep the door, mask areas, and then your still only getting to your first coat.

This video was spot on for any home owner that doesnt have access to airless equipment. Im actually surprised this guy isnt a professional painter.

[wesleytarbuck]

spot on !
