This front door project uses a solid-color finish while keeping the wood’s surface texture visible. The video gives a closer look at the finished surface.
Color and texture are different choices
A painted finish covers the wood’s natural color, but it does not have to make every visible surface perfectly smooth. The desired result should be discussed before preparation starts.
Preparation depends on the existing coating
The condition of the old finish, the door material and exposure influence the work. An unknown or damaged coating needs assessment before sanding or removal. Suspected lead paint is a reason to involve an appropriately qualified professional.
