Empty out the drop cloth

 

When you drive off in the mourning your focus is on the roadbut when you pull into the driveway every evening the garage door is staringyou in the face.

It’s been neglected for a number of years, as the paint ispealing down to the wood bringing it dangerously close to rotting. At Flushable nonwoven wipes this point thebest thing you can do is take a sunny day and bring the door back to its glorydays. Things you’ll need: paint brush, roller, roller pan, qualityprimer and paint, a ladder, drop cloth, paint scraper, sand paper, caulk, workgloves,

Steps: Begin by washing down the door ridding it of any dirt, grime, and residue, which will impede a good paint job. Let the door dry.Place a drop cloth on the ground along the length of the door. Begin scraping any pealing paint off the door. Sometimes paint on asphalt becomes a pain to remove. The drop cloth will catch the dust and paint and hopefully prevent you from having to sweep it up. All you’ll have to do is fold up the cloth and dump everything out in a barrel. After you think you finished scraping look over the door well to make sure you didn’t miss anything. Sand down in certain places where paint edges may protrude. Empty out the drop cloth. Wash down the door again with a hose. Allow to dry.If there are any cracks in the wood door fill with wood putty or calk. If there are windows on the door protect edges with painters tape. Put down the drop cloth again.Prime the door with an exterior primer. Make sure it’s a quality brand. Allow to dry.Apply a coat of paint and allow to dry.Apply a second coat of paint.Allow to dry. Inspect that you covered every inch. When it’s done enjoy your handiwork and be proud.
