Too shabby

After spending so much time preparing and painting the front gate, we noticed that the front door was looking a bit shabby. I’d like to say shabby chic, but in reality it really was looking too shabby.

So while we were in the flow, Brian made a start by first painting some rust remover on the areas that needed a bit of attention.

He then painted over them to seal them in, with a coat of hammerite, before sanding the whole door down and cleaning away a few cobwebs from the corners. After that he needed to do a little bit of metal filling and sanding to prep the surface.

He’d got it started, but it wasn’t looking particularly chic yet! it now needed me to come along and paint it.
