  • NOTHING about this article explains how to paint an exterior door frame. My god. Did you use an under coat, top coat, primer, oil based versus non oil based? How much sanding is required, do you take it down to the wood, or just score the top coat…After perusal a article titled “How to paint an exterior door frame” I still don’t know how to paint an exterior door frame
