More chic than shabby

We chose an oil based metal paint for the front door. It’s the same colour as the gate, but provides a more classic satin finish.

It’s coverage was very good, and I soon could see how the door was going to look with its new paint job.

A couple of coats later and we were extremely pleased with the results, and so glad we had pushed ahead to do it. Although, come the spring, I will need to rub the edges down and just repaint them where the paint got stuck when we closed it at the end of the day. Ideally I needed to leave it a good 8 hours to dry.

The rain has come though, and we are so glad we got it done when we did.
