Painting of textural MDF input door alkyd paint. How to paint the doors from MDF

Sometimes the interior of the house anniversary and comes. Then the desire to change it or supplement something new. Especially susceptible to the aging and dulling of the paint doors. Although they are the most reliable and durable, but frequent use of them erases shine and beauty, leaves small scratches.

Such doors are full and manufactured by pressing waste from lumber, so the painting of MDF at home is a complex business, but possible. And at the same time will give your home an updated view.

In order to paint the doors, you will need paint for MDF. On some plates, this coating lies easily, to others - with difficulty. Such properties depend on the components from which the stove was made. The material fraction causes too quickly to absorb the coating that is applied to them.

In order for the color evenly, you need to choose such for MDF doors, which will suit the chemical composition to the painted material.

Therefore, when choosing paintwork materials, it is necessary:

• choose paints without strong smell, for example, water-emulsion;
• quick-drying. These include acrylic paints;
• with a high percentage of adhesion for durable coating and surface of the subject;
• with low flow;
• a certain color so that the door is harmoniously fit into the interior of the apartment.

Now there is a special polyurethane paint on MDF. It is an eco-friendly coating material, odorless and volatile components. It has high wear resistance and resistance to chemical elements.

Instruments

For painting the surface of the door of the MDF, we need certain tools.

• Tassels. Narrow for small parts and hard-to-reach places and large. Instead of large, you can use a roller or spray gun. The pile at the tassel should not climb, so you need to buy a high-quality instrument. Otherwise, then you have to collect hairs from tassels throughout the door.
• Roller Be sure to be terry or woolen, because the foam foam is slipped on the surface.
• Mixer or drill with nozzard To stir the composition of the coating.
• Special bathochka To work with paint, if the roller is used when applied, or a small jar, so that you can suck the brush in it.
• Stencils, scotchi, scissors, zero sandpaper.

How to paint the door from MDF?

In order to paint or repaint from one color to another door from MDF at home, the workplace floor is necessary to WELL WELL PAPERS NOT BLACK IN PROCESS. Under the stained surface to put two timber. This is done in order to invert the cloth in the future without effort. MDF doors can be painted not only new, which are manufactured specifically under painting, but also repaint from one color to another.

The procedure is quite simple and does not require any particular costs or efforts. Painting doors from MDF is carried out in several layers. Before each application, the previous layer must dry completely. But first it is necessary to prepare the cloth.

Preparatory stage

For coloring MDF at home, the door is removed from the loops, free from the fittings, put on the prepared bars. With the help of heating, the old coating is removed, the material for staining is prepared. MDF is carefully polished by sandpaper.

Other tools are better not to use, as you can damage the material. The remaining garbage from grinding is collected and mixed with PVA glue, use as a means to get rid of various defects that appeared during grinding time.

If there are inserts from glass in the doors, they need to be stuck in scotch, so as not to get paint and did not bring additional troubles.

After the door from the MDF is polished, aligned, go to the surface of the surface of the surface. This is a very important moment before painting.

Padding

Before covering the doors of MDF paint, it is necessary to apply a layer of primer. To do this, you can use the oil. You need to wait for a complete drying of the primer. Then again inspect the surface for the presence of defects and scratches. If necessary, then putty to smell all cracks, chips and thoroughly stick.

Then you should apply two more primer layers so that it can score all the pores and reduce the amount of paint material absorbed.

And only after the completion of careful priming of the surface and complete drying, you can move to staining.

Stage Painting

In the event that MDF doors are purchased under painting, we skip the first first stages. When the product is prepared, you can not be afraid and start painting MDF with your own hands. It is necessary to cry the ends and small details well. An alternative method of applying is painting with a sprayer if there is no desire to mess with a roller or tassel. But, first, it is necessary to proceed well all the hard-to-reach places with a narrow brush.

After the first layer was applied, it is necessary to let him dry completely. A small divorce will remain on the surface, but then they will close the next layer. And, after the second layer is dry, you can apply the final third.

When using a water-level or special polyurethane paint, a drying layer on the surface will never interfere with the doors from the MDF closed, as it happens if you paint them with nitroemal.

Under ancient

You can use a diluent Glezal as the finishing layer. It will give the stiffness to the fibers of the MDF MDF medium density. And also contributes to the creation of a textural surface. With this diluent, it is possible to achieve this type of door decoration as "under ancient", "Venetian coating", "Imitation of a Coroeda" and much more. The final stage in painting will be the application of the lacquer layer.

Most people are infrequently faced with repair and construction - once a few years, from strength. And with the replacement of interroom doors - just less often, because not every repair is associated with their replacement - the door, as a rule, is much longer than, for example, wallpaper or linoleum. But at the same time the door is an important element of the interior, this is what you always see the first in any room (if, of course, this room is not a slash). This article will help you figure out what do doors from MDF, than they differ from wooden, where they can be used, where it is impossible, and how to contact them: whether they should be painted and how to install them, how to do it with their own hands. In addition, we will deal with common reviews about such doors - after all, the experience of their use is already accumulated quite rich.

What do the doors from MDF

Without exaggeration, it can be said that today the MDF is used in the manufacture of almost all interior doors, with the exception of alloy-tree. The name of the MDF is a fine fraction of the tree, and from all familiar and the usual fiberboard is distinguished by the density and method of manufacturing - the main binder in the manufacture of MDF is paraffin, and this gives this material some moisture resistance.
As a rule, the door from the MDF is a wooden frame to which two MDF plates are glued on both sides - i.e. Such a door is a hollow inside. It is worth noting that most of the manufacturers fill this hollow space with corrugated cardboard - like bee honeycombs, this is done in order to give the door with great strength. MDF plates themselves can be both smooth and with a surround pattern with postponed on them. But the coating in such a door can be the most diverse.

Where they can be used

Doors from MDF can be installed indoors as interior doors - in fact, it is for this that they are intended. It is categorically impossible to install such doors outside the premises, as well as indoors with elevated temperature and humidity - for example, in the baths and in the saunas.

Attention! Often you can hear questions - are there doors from MDF moisture resistant, and is it possible to install them in the bathroom? The correct answers are "no" and "yes", i.e. Moisture-resistant doors from MDF are not, but in the bathroom most of them can be installed. Below we will look at what and why.

What are the coatings of doors from MDF

If you specifically not search for exotic options, then the entire spectrum of possible door coatings is reduced to a small amount of options:

1. Veneer.
2. Furniture paper.
3. Different types of PVC films.
4. Paintwork.

It is also worth noting that the doors from MDF can also be sold and without coating at all - simply opened by the layer of primer (so-called. Doors under painting).

Veneered doors

In this case, a thin layer of natural wood is glued to the surface of the MDF plate - veneer, as a result, such a door looks absolutely the same as wooden.

The coating of the door with a veneer gives her an expensive kind of product from natural wood

But here you need to understand that the veneer itself is not the final coating, the coating is the lacquer, which this veneer is opened. And the moisture resistance of such a door is due to moisture resistance of varnish.

Doors with furniture paper or PVC films (laminated)

Laminating is to "wrap up." By itself, the term "laminated" door speaks only that the door is wrapped in something, but what it wrap is - this is the second question. In the simplest and cheapest case - this is furniture paper. It looks quite beautiful, but not wear resistance, without moisture-resistance, of course, does not possess - and here such doors to install in the bathroom is categorically impossible. The appearance of such a door will very quickly deteriorate just because you will take wet hands several times. Another thing is the doors laminated with PVC-based materials. These doors have a moisture-resistant surface - they are not afraid of water from entering their surface.

Council. Choosing laminated doors, check with the seller the coating material is to save you from surprises in the future.

Doors with paint and varnish

Such doors do not need the presentation - this is perhaps the oldest view of the door coating. Lucky and paints used to cover doors give the surface of the door moisture resistance - and such doors from MDF are suitable for bathrooms.

Varnish coating on the door will give it moisture resistance

MDF doors under painting - how and what to paint

Such doors are usually sold pre-trunk. How and how to paint? You can paint with any moisture-resistant paint, both on a solvent and water based. Not bad results are obtained if used colored varnishes. Colorless varnishes, naturally, in this case will not fit.

Council. Since you are most likely unknown, what kind of primer used the manufacturer of your door, it will be worthwhile to check the paint for compatibility with the primer. To do this, you just need to apply paint to the primer on a small, unpaid area, give dry, and look at the result: if the paint did not go with bubbles, not exfoliated, it does not excel, it does not crack - everything is in order, you can paint.

Installation with your own hands

Immediately arrange - the process of installing interroom doors is quite complicated, and requires a separate article. Here we consider the main stages, so that you can assess your strength, whether you should take on the installation of doors with your own hands. So, the installation of interroom doors includes:

• knocking door fittings (loops, locks, handles);
• clutch on the required size and assembly of the door frame;
• preliminary fixing the door frame in the opening;
• canopy door leaf, control of gaps, slopes, fit;
• the final fastening of the door frame in the opening, clipping and installing platbands (if any).

If you have never kept the chisel in your hands and do not know how to use a manual milling machine, it is necessary to purchase the door with the already embedded fittings, or contact this service to the nearest carpentry workshop. Also, many doors sellers carry out the cutting of accessories at the door when selling. It is not worth eperimizing on your own door - the likelihood of it is too large.

Simplified door mounting diagram and door frame

When you have a collected box, fix it in the opening. You can do it with the help of wedges and struts, but this method has its own minus - the struts usually interfere with the door canvas hang on the box to check the closing, gaps, and the plane. Therefore, the beginning of the door installer can be advised to secure a box with dowels or self-drawing, and be prepared for the fact that after the mounted canvases will have to adjust its position - and moreover, repeatedly.

Council. It is not worth making the gaps between the closed door blast and the door frame of less than 4 mm - remember that the tree and materials based on it "breathe", and can change the geometric dimensions depending on the temperature and humidity in the room.

After the box is finally exposed in the opening, and you made sure that the door as it should be closed, the gaps are normal, the door canvas "does not run", you can poison the gap between the door frame and the wall of the mounting foam. After hardening the foam, once again, everything is controlled - it may be necessary to partially remove the foam, adjust the position of the door frame, and blew up. Then we remove the surplus of the foam, they attach in size and secrets.

And in conclusion dispel the typical myths about the doors from MDF

• the door from the MDF light, and it is bad, because the good door should be massive and heavy.
  In fact, a light door is good, because the small weight of the door canvase reduces the load on the loop and the door frame, and significantly extends the service life.
• the door from the MDF is hollow inside, so she has bad noise insulation.
  In fact, the noise insulating properties of the door are primarily dependent on the seal - if it is not, then noise insulation from any door will be unimportant, and only in the second - from the material of the door canvase.
• doors from MDF are much cheaper, which means worse than veneered.
  In fact, a good half of the veneered doors is made of MDF - veneer is only a finishing coating, and not the material from which the door canvases make.

Video: Doors from MDF

After purchasing an apartment or a certain period of time of living in one place, it may be desire to make cosmetic repairs. If with the sticking of wallpaper, the permutation of furniture, the interpretation of the floor cover everything is clear, then how to update the door canvases. Not every person knows how to paint the doors interrooms from MDF.

MDF is a fiberglass of medium density stove. It is made of wood chips, which can be a large, medium, shallow fraction. It is pressed using special equipment. Adhesive compositions (carbamide resins) are added to fasten the chips.

The features of this material are that due to its heterogeneity, the MDF absorbs a large amount of coloring composition. Additionally, it is necessary to choose high-quality paint, otherwise under the influence of surrounding factors, the decorative layer will cover cracks. Due to the addition of carbamide resins for gluing plates, the environmental friendliness of the material is worsening. In order not to harm the human body, it is required to choose only eco-friendly coloring compositions.

Required tools and materials

It is important to know not only how to spend painting, but and how to paint the doors from MDF at home. Initially, it is necessary to prepare tools, materials, additional devices that will be useful when carrying out conceived works.

Instruments:

1. Brushes. They are necessary for staining inaccessible and patterned places. They cannot hook a roller. The main thing when choosing brushes is to check the state of the pile. It should not be poured and climb when working.
2. Roller When buying this tool, you need to choose a terry or woolen work part. Poropolone rollers leave empty places when painting.
3. Bath for painting makeup or primer. Its size is suitable for applying the paint composition on the working surface of the roller for further work.
4. For paint stirring, you can use any metal wand or an electric door with a mixer.

These were the basic tools. You will also need a set of screwdrivers, screwdriver or mount. They are needed to remove the door leaf. Plus, the painting tape, scissors, a sharp blade for the ripping of decorative elements. Stencils will be suitable for creating decoration. The question of whether it is possible to paint the doors from the MDF coated from the PVC film, often occurs. In this case, it is necessary to initially make smooth plastic rough. To do this, you need to buy small emery paper.

Selection of paint

Before you begin painting the door canvase, you need to pay special attention to choosing the color composition. There are a number of requirements for which you need to pay attention when choosing a paint composition:

1. Select paints that smell less. These include water-emulsion formulations.
2. It is important to choose compounds without adding toxic and harmful components for the body.
3. When choosing paint, it is necessary to pay attention to wear-resistant compositions. Do the doors enjoy constantly. Not every coating can withstand intense loads.
4. Choose quick-dry paint materials. It is typical for water-level and acrylic paints.
5. MDF has a porous structure, and a matte painting makeup will ugly look at such a surface. The glossy outer layer hides this flaw.
6. In the purchase capacity should be written "High adhesion".

Important! It is required to pay attention to the consumption of paint. The normal indicator is 1 kg of paint and primer on the door leaf size of 2000 × 800 mm.

In the markets, in construction and housekeeping stores you can find various paints. They can be divided into three groups.

Acrylic enamel

You can find a huge number of color shades. The advantages of acrylic compositions are that they do not exude an unpleasant smell and dry quickly.

Alkyd and alkyd-urethane enamel

These compositions are considered the most popular. Consumers appreciate such paints for low price, a wide range of colors. Alkyd compositions have significant cons. They exude an unpleasant smell within 3 days after applying and dry long. Alkyd paints should not cover the doors to sleeping rooms and paint anything in rooms where people with allergies live.

Polyurethane enamel

The advantages of these colors are durability and a beautiful appearance after applying. But high price, toxicity, unpleasant smell are not suitable for all buyers.

Attention! In any kind of decorative coating, a certain time is necessary for drying, before carrying out further work.

Painting process

When tools, materials, additional devices are prepared, you need to create a working atmosphere. In order not to blur the floor, you need to be made it with polyethylene. The paper is not suitable for this, as it is soaked in paint and traces will remain on the surface. When the surface is styling, you can start conducting basic work.

Preparatory stage

First of all, it is necessary to remove the door leaf with the loops. If the door is old, the mount is used for this. It must be put on one side under the canvas so that the lever turns out. With a pressure on the other side, the canvas will go up and comes off with a loop. In the new doors, the loops are fixed to the door on the self-tapping screw. You can unscrew them with a screwdriver or screwdriver.

You need to remove the canvas together. This is associated with a lot of construction.

It is required to clean the door to emery paper. Garbage to sleep with a brush. Metal or glass decorative inserts are stuck with a painting ribbon.

Padding

When the canvas is prepared, it is necessary to apply primer. It will hide various defects. After applying the composition you need to wait the time specified on the package. When the first layer of drying, it is necessary to examine the surface for the presence of scratches and cracks. Total layers of primer need 3-4. Such a number will reduce the indicator of the MDF absorption.

Stage Painting

When the primer dried, you can start painting. First of all, hard-to-reach places are processed. For this, a brush is used. The surface is painted with roller. The first layer must dry before the continuation of the work.

After drying, you need to apply another layer, wait until it dry, and coat the leaf with the outer layer. The finishing layer is required to be applied carefully. After the coating, it is necessary to check the finished surface for the presence of defects.

Under ancient

To generate the door, it is necessary to use Glezal as the finishing layer. This is a special diluent, which can be purchased in the same place, where and paint. It strengthens the structure of MDF, draws the structure of the material. The last layer in the work will be covered with varnish.

When the lacquer dries, you need to install the door leaf in place, remove the painting tape and throw out the garbage. Varnish will strengthen the paint and protect it from mechanical effects.

To paint the door from MDF, you do not need to have additional skills. It is important to know the features of this material, perform a certain sequence of actions. We must not forget about sandpaper of the canvas with sandpaper and the coating of its primer.

In the harmonious interior, every detail is important. This applies not only to furniture and decor, but also elements such as doors. Without these components, there can be no modern dwelling. The door canvas must be not only functional, but also attractive to successfully complement the existing ensemble. Often the hosts want to update the doors, but do not know how to do it right. Today we will talk about how it is better to paint this element of the dwelling so that it becomes more attractive.

Benefits

It's no secret that over time, all the details in the interior wear out and gradually lose the primordial appearance. More qualitative and reliable materials are growing slightly slower, and inexpensive and unnatural - much earlier. Noticing that the interroom or entrance door in the dwelling lost its external attractiveness, many of the owners know to return to her former attractiveness.

A good solution to this question is the usual painting. Fortunately, modern manufacturers produce coatings that are easy to fall not only on wooden canvases, but also on metal or plastic surfaces, so the optimal paint will be able to choose for any material.

However, often people turn to such an update of the door design not because it was strongly worn out and requires restoration, but in order to revive the interior slightly and bring fresh paints into it.

Do not underestimate the role of the doorway and its colors in the interior, since often such elements are in the root change the tone of the ensemble and give it one or another style.

Paint and varnish coatings are good not only to the fact that they decorate and update the doors, but also by the choice of shades. Today in stores you can find mixtures not only classic and neutral, but also the most unexpected and even acid tones. This suggests that the modern consumer is free to form absolutely any interior, from the classics to the insane avant-garde.

Many users prefer painting doors also due to the fact that everyone can cope with this process. It is not too complicated and does not require special knowledge and skills. It is enough to know only the basic basins of painting door canvases.

Materials of products

For painting, almost all varieties of modern interior doors are suitable. Ideal for high-quality wooden or veneered canvas.

Today, there are many attractive and durable models made of hardwood wood, to which refers:

• Beech.Otherwise, this breed is called the "Kings Tree" due to its unsurpassed quality and a good appearance.
• Oak.Oak doors can boast enviable strength, reliability and unique tint. This is especially true of a luxurious moraine oak.
• Nut.This attractive wood is distinguished by an interesting Moir pattern and a rich dark tint.
• Ash. For strength, this material is comparable to the oak, but it is much cheaper.
• Linden. This wood has a bright shade and is inexpensive.

No less popular canvas of coniferous wood species, such as:

• Spruce. This material is not the biggest strength, but for the interior door is ideally suitable.
• Pine.Pine canvas have a pleasant and calm color. In addition, such doors are inexpensive and look attractive.
• Cedar.Cedar doors are highly reliable and resistance to mold formation.
• Alder.The doors of alder in terms of their characteristics are largely similar to pine models, but are more resistant to temperature differences and water air.

Also, hybrid products are also suitable for painting, which includes a frame made from a veneered or solid pine array or an inexpensive canvas from materials such as MDF, DVP or chipboard. Often such products are covered with veneer.

In addition, attractive veneered instances can be shielded or pailene. Therapy designs are ideal for mounting as a traditional interior object. Ordinary panel options can be used a bit differently.

Because of its smooth surface, they are often used to create hidden interior canvases. Otherwise, such elements are called "invisible" doors.

You can paint not only a wooden, but also a plastic door. But if you want to achieve the most persistent and attractive result, you will have to stock special paint-aerosol in the cylinders. For example, it can be a popular composition of amphibolin 2000.

How to paint in the apartment with your own hands?

The choice of a suitable paint coating mainly depends on what appearance of the door canvases you plan to obtain as a result, from the availability of experience in such matters and, of course, from the conditions in which painting will be made. If you are going to handle the door behind the walls of the dwelling, then you need to choose a decoration that does not have smell so as not to harm the health of others.

There are several species of paints-enamels that can be used to handle the door and its components:

• Acrylic.Such paint remarkably hides any defects on the stained surface. It also protects the material from dampness and moisture, and the formation of mold. It can be used for glass. Today, many firms produce high-quality acrylic compositions that differ in environmental friendliness.
• Alkyd. This composition is very similar to the traditional oil paint, but has more significant protective characteristics that can serve up to 4 years.
• Polyurethane. This paint is characterized by high strength and durability. It perfectly fills the pores of the natural tree than protects it from the penetration of moisture and pollution.

• Water dispersive and water-emulsion.These paints quick-drying and do not have substances harmful to health. In addition, there is no sharp smell from them and they differ in durability.
• Powder and hammer.These options appeared on the market relatively recently. They are not designed to decorate wood. As a rule, metal canvases are covered by them.
• Wax and oils.These specific coatings are more often purchased for wood finish. They allow the material to "breathe" and have a restoration effect on damaged surfaces. However, wax coatings are not quick-drying, so it will be possible to use the processed door only after 3-4 days.

For the fashionable today, the following compositions are used:

• Acrylic paint represented by a wide range of gamut.
• Bituminous, giving a dark brown shade.
• Wax patina, which can also have natural, and green-blue tones.
• Shellak patina, presented in colors from golden to red.
• Oil patina applied extremely rare in modern interiors.

Required tools

For staining of the door canvase, you must have the following materials and items:

• "Goats" or other similar designs for laying the door in a suspended position;
• brush;
• dry brush;
• melkovoy roller;
• special paint tray;

• a hammer;
• screwdriver;
• sandpaper;
• kraspopult;
• craquelur for door decor.

What color choose?

Modern manufacturers produce paintwork coatings of various colors. Thanks to this rich assortment, the owners of the home will be able to easily embody even the most nontrivial design ideas.

Nowadays there are several leading tendencies in the color of interroom door structures:

• soft and tender shades, light notes of blue, peach, grassy, \u200b\u200bpink or lavender color;
• dark dense shades of brown, cherry, blue and chocolate colors;
• saturated and juicy shades (red, orange and yellow);
• noble tones, imitating natural wood type wenge, oak, nut or cedar.

In addition, many designers when choosing a suitable color recommend the owners to adhere to the following recommendations.

• Deep and dark shades, such as cherry, red walnut or dark chocolate will enter luxury and elegant notes in the interior.
• As for inconspicuous light tones, they are best suited for cozy bedrooms or children's rooms, as they create a peaceful and calm atmosphere.
• If the room is a beautiful sleeping set of white tint, then the door is better to choose in a similar color solution. It can also be supplemented with gold-plated panels.

• In a wooden house, the canvas from an array treated with oil transparent impregnation will be perfect.
• For a classic ensemble with antique interior items, you can buy an interesting artificially aged model of wood.
• As for the door frame, it should be a little lighter or darker of the main wall decoration.

New web coloring technology

Unprocessed earlier, the tree strongly absorbs moisture. If, for example, put such a web in a bath without treating it with special impregnations, then it will soon swell and simply stop securely close. This suggests that in front of the immediate installation and painting wooden door it is necessary to competently prepare.

All work should be carried out indoors in a closed room so that dust and dirt did not fall on the processed cloth.

First, the door without any accessories is placed on a flat and stable plane. As a rule, pre-grinding is undergoing pre-grinding during the production of the canvas, however, there are still minor roughness or protrusions on them, therefore it is worth a grinding machine or sandpaper.

Before painting the fabric, it is necessary to handle the primer. First, all the deepening of the canvas is covered, and then smooth surfaces.

Since the designs will be in a horizontal position, the drips and drops will not appear on them, and the primer will be absorbed as uniform as possible. After that, you need to give the product to dry and produce a second processing.

Now you can go directly to the color of the web. Shield models are better covered with roller, and violent - non-trap brush. Make sure that the paint is not too thick. If its consistency is such, it is worth the solvent.

It is not necessary to make a door too thick in paint, since it can only spoil the product from such actions. Depending on the passing characteristics, 2-4 layers of paint may be required. Consider that each of them must dry out before applying the following. While the door leaf itself dries, you need to handle the opening.

If a veil is selected for finishing a new web, then the primer does not need to be applied.

Cardinal color change

Previously primed and painted door can be repainted independently at home. First you need to spend all the necessary training. First of all, the old colorful layer is removed. With full removal of the former layers, repaint the door will turn out in any color, whether it is classic brown, white or black, as well as brighter and colorful tones. However, in the second case, it should be checked how appropriate the paint in the room will look. To do this, you need to apply it for a couple of boards and attach to the door canvase.

After these procedures, the procedures can be processed to the door repainting according to the algorithm:

• The canvas need to sharpen. You can purchase a special composition for wooden doors.
• Then the spacure is dry.

• After that, you need to treat the surface with sandpaper.
• Now we apply a layer of primer, oil or wax (you can find fireproof materials).
• You need to paint the doors from the top corner.
• Small elements are painted with a brush.
• Paint should be applied solely in the direction of wood fibers.

Now you need to give the canvas to dry. It is desirable that it is in a horizontal position.

How to remove old paint?

For the softening of the former layers of paint, it is possible to apply a coal chemical layer and give it to be soaked into the surface. This work can take about 2 hours. After a while, the old paint will start bubble and move away from the door. It can be highly removed by a spatula to completely purify the canvas.

Also to remove the former paint it can be heated with a construction hairdryer and remove the spatula. While the finish is well heated, it remains as soft as possible and remove it much easier.

You can use both of these methods. Especially often to such a method are treated in order to clean the oil paint applied in many layers.

Degreased the wooden door can be metal brushed and sandpaper shallow or large fraction. In particularly complex cases, plans or aggressive chemical compositions are used. Plastic models are degreased with acetone and White spirit.

How to quickly sharpen?

The putty is the final stage of the preparation of the door to painting and does not take much time. Depending on the condition of the canvas, it can be covered in whole or in part. After that, you need to wait until the composition is completely dry and you should walk along the door sandpaper (over the entire surface or in separate sites). Here you do not need to hurry so as not to harm the canvas.

Coloring in two colors

If you want to paint the door using two different colors, for example, in a contrast black and white, then you must first apply the base layer. In this case, white. After that, it is necessary to wait for it to complete drying and treat those areas that will be painted in another shade. Also, in the course of the work, you can take certain surfaces with adhesive tape so that the paint does not get the paint of another color.

After drying and processing the main layer, you can cross the ribbons on it and engage in coloring previously closed areas in black.

Make the door under the old days

If you like vintage style and antique image, then the door can be decorated with patina.

This procedure occurs in several stages:

• first, the door surface is treated with an iron brush;
• then the white primer is applied;
• after its drying, gray patina is applied;
• its top layer will need to be removed using a grinding bar;
• at the end, you need to apply at least two layers of enamel.

Of course, the repair does not happen in trifles, each work requires attention and respect. But still there are those who do not require big knowledge, no skills or time. These include the decision of the issue than to paint the interior doors of MDF or from wood.

Selection than painting interior doors, pretty large and color paint and, based on it

It is only necessary to choose the right to choose the paint for work in the interior, impeccable from an ecological point of view, still the remaining operations should not cause any difficulties.

On the photo, only a small set of possible proposals

Although there are a lot of operations.

Painting order

To do the following:

1. first carefully examine the state of the old paint and take one of two solutions:

• if the old paint "sits well" and she did not lose his appearance, it is not necessary to take it completely completely, quite simply very carefully (and here it cannot be compromises) remove the waves and bumps,

• they are completely sharpened, and
• shut out the sandpaper;

The instruction does not oblige to pre-remove the old paint, but it is very desirable to do

• if it is decided to still remove the old paint, then it is not necessary to do without special devices:

• first, we are trying to move as far as possible with the help of a conventional spatula, very carefully related to the wood, without damaging it;
• then we prepare a hairdryer, better - special, powerful construction - and remove the spatula, pre-heating the colorful layer;
• to remove paint, a more radical means can help - iron or its construction analogue; Such will not be able to help in difficult uneven places, but on smooth surfaces it is simply indispensable;

Mechanical grinding is required after the removal of paint and putty

• full deletion of paint obliges then to grind the surface, better than a grinding machine;
• as a final chord, the entire surface is soil;
• we wait for her complete drying and grind everything again;

1. when, one way or another, the problem of the colorful layer is solved, the surface is primed, and the primer is processed by sandpaper, proceed to painting. Here it will be necessary to fulfill only one strict rule - painting should be carried out at least 2 layers, and the first overlap with a more thick consistency, before applying the second layer, it will be necessary to completely dry the first.

Everything can be done and with your own hands, especially in hard-to-reach places for machine

Helpful advice! There is another one, very effective, the method of removing old paint is the so-called, chemical, with the help of special solvents, which are also called "paint destroyers."

But we do not advise them to enjoy in closed rooms, and even on the vertically placed door. You will have to remove the door and perform all the work in the fresh air. By the way, all other work on the doors is also better to carry out when they are removed in a horizontal position.

Perhaps before painting the sharpled door will not look too aesthetically, but literally in an hour everything will change dramatically

Selection of paint

It remains to solve only the most important question than you can paint interior doors. Immediately, specialized, more related to the method of cold galvanizing, Zinga's electrically conductive paint is not suitable here (find out as well as paint plaster).

It is not necessary to use flame retardant paints for metal polystyl. But even during this exception, the choice will not fit at all.

Requirements

But first about the requirement for the choice:

• FirstlyThe paint should be good from aesthetic point of view, and its appearance should be kept for a long period of time after completing the work.
• SecondlyThe paint should be flawless from the point of view of ecology, this requirement to all materials used in the interiors.
• Thirdly, since the paint for the door, it should be strong enough to abrasion, because interior doors are in motion and constant use for all 24 hours a day.
• FourthAnd this is very important, paint should be resistant to fire, God forbid, to ever check this quality, but to check this characteristic when buying very advise.

Painting can be carried out with a roller, so faster, but not to do without brushes, in any case we put at least two layers

suggestions

At our disposal in the market several options for paint to choose from:

• Alkyda. This is now the most common, thanks to its durability, a large number of colors and cost. But the alkyd base of paint for 2-3 days until it does not dry, it dismisses not quite a pleasant smell. On the scale of the environmentally friendliness of this paint, it is also impossible to put the maximum rating of 100 points - it is not higher than 80. In other words, you should not paint this paint door to the nursery and where they live exposed to allergic reactions.

• Acrylic enamel. There is also a large color gamut, there are no smells of you. But it is already more expensive and the strength is more expensive, so often the paint layer is coated additionally acrylic varnish.

• Nitroemal. The high cost of this offer for many with more than paying off by a wonderful appearance of the surface, which will fall on this paint. But such paint requires increased attention to personal safety during the work, it is toxic.

If the area of \u200b\u200bwork is small, then everything can be done literally in a few hours, do not forget that the shp can be allowed to grasp

conclusions

The painting of the interior door is the operation that you always strive to fulfill yourself and the matter is not even in the economy of finance. I just want to do something sometimes and with your own hands, when the price of work in terms of time spent is not so great (find out here, as with the help of which materials to prepare drywall under painting).
