Painting doors?
Ok, I am planning to either replace the interior doors in the house of jazz up the ones we have..
Currently we have cheapo 6 panel pine things stained with the stuff that does what it says on the tin..
So, thinking of my recent chassis painting experience can I achieve a good finish with the spray gun after some prep on the doors?
She's thinking of a high gloss finish in white like the glossy worktops we have...
Any decorating geniuses here that can point me in the right direction regarding paint types and what not???
Cheers,
Steve

don't gloss! 
it'll look hideous imo
my brother got a flat and decided to paint his ceiling in some white paint he had. painted the corner in gloss white before he realised what he was
doing...

Door firm in Carlisle have mases of spare doors in lots of styles for little money check on evil bay by distance. Mate made a guitar body and had it
sprayed at local body shop in Diamond White but no idea what paint /process used looked beautiful when done and that was on a chunk of recycled
teak.

I just sprayed some plywood panels for a cupboard and used some spare cellulous paint I had, high build primer, metallic silver base coat and then
some lacquer. Got a really good finish

people will go potty here, but 2k primer would be ideal as it is very high build. However, car paints tend to be quite hard, so may suffer with panel
doors and crack along the joints? just thinking out loud here.
Also, I am sure on fleabay I saw some synthetic high build primer. Celly over an existing finish may be a problem as the thinners is so aggressive. In
fact synthetic may be a good idea as it is more flexible too. Downside it it is difficult to polish up.....

been using Crown's easy breathe water based paints recently. The Satin goes on ok with a foam roller, just take your time. Rub down with some 4
to 600 between coats.
Have started to paint over all the old Dulux gloss and you can see how yellow the non yellowing Dulux has gone........horrible stuff, and oh so
smelly.
I look for all the waterbased paints now. Easy to use, dry quick and the clean up is a doddle.

In my old house, I covered all the upstairs doors in Fablon, just as a quick and easy fix
they were still perfect 5 years later when I sold the place

Thats was probably spelt wrong, or had some grammer, that the "grammer police have to have a moan at
