Painting A Door That Has Previously Been Discolored Outside?

Peak Pro Painting offers residential and commercial painting services in Denver, Colorado. Zinsser products can be used to paint woodstain or varnished exterior wood surfaces using a 3-step guide on how to prepare, prime, and decorate in over 4,000+ RAL, NCS, and BS colors. Before painting an exterior door, remove any hardware, patch it, sand it, and use painter’s tape and paper to cover any windows or hardware that cannot be removed. For previously painted doors in good condition, lightly sand them with 240-grit sandpaper. For wooden doors with flaking, cracked, or peeling paint, use 120-grit sandpaper to sand away the paint down to the bare wood.

Painting paneled doors is the ultimate painter’s challenge, but following these steps can make it easier. To restain a previously stained door with gel stain, sand just enough to remove any protective sealer that’s left on the door. Sand with 150-grit paper, prime with stain-killing primer, spread on spackling compound, prime with tinted primer, and paint with acrylic latex. A strong pre-paint cleaner such as TSP powder mixed with hot water would be a good choice for the job.

To paint over a stained wood exterior, simply prep the surface by cleaning and sanding it, choose the right paint and primer, and apply them like a professional. The key to successful painting over stained surfaces is to follow the steps provided by experts and follow the instructions provided by Peak Pro Painting.
