Clear the area of any furniture or belongings and lay a dust sheet down to protect the flooring. Remove the door handle and mask off the hinges. Next, clean the door with a sugar soap surface and rinse off with water. When dry, sand the surface and dust off.
To ensure a smooth finish, it’s a good idea to dampen the door’s surface with a cloth and clean water. Then comes the fun part – you can start applying Dulux AquaMax Satinwood to the door. But remember, if your door hasn’t been painted before, you’ll need to apply a primer and Dulux AquaMax Undercoat.
Using a synthetic-bristle brush, apply your first coat of Dulux AquaMax Satinwood. It’s best to paint your door panels and moulding first, then tackle the rest of the door. Make sure you apply your paint strokes in the same direction, so you’re not left with brush marks.
Allow the first coat to dry, then apply the second coat. Once that’s fully dry, you can remove the tape from the hinges and re-attach the door handle.
