After years of use, an interior door can become to look worn down and drab. Painting the door can bring back the shine and luster that was apparent when the door was new. There are some important steps to take in order to pain the interior door properly.
Remove the doorknob and other hardware from the door. Place all pieces into a small plastic bag and store them out of your way. Unscrew the door from its hinges, and put the screws in a separate bag so you will know the difference when replacing the door.
Set up two sawhorses to hold the interior door while you paint it. If you prefer to keep the smell of paint outside the home, the painting can be done outdoors. Just be sure the weatherman has not predicted rain, as it can take 48 hours for the paint to dry once the job is complete. If you are okay with painting indoors and have the space, set the sawhorses up in the house instead. Be sure to cover the floor of your workspace with old newspaper or plastic if you are painting inside.
Clean the door using a gentle household cleaner and a rag. For wooden doors, a dusting agent can be used instead. The door must be free from dirt and dust prior to painting, or it can make the paint look dirty or like it contains bumps. Dry the entire door with a lint-free cloth. You can allow to air dry, but still make sure you wipe down the door before painting to remove any dust that could have settled back down on the surface.
Begin by painting the edges of the interior door. Then, begin at the top and work your way to the bottom, painting in a vertical motion. This keeps the strokes of the paintbrush in line with the grain of the door. Allow the side to dry for at least 24 hours before doing the other side.
Once the painting is complete and both sides have been allowed to dry, replace the doorknob to the door. Screw the door back on its hinges, and you have a nicely painted interior door.
