When considering your project, wood and metal paint can be just as effective as a masonry paint to create an individual and premium style.  To the front of your property a fresh coat of paint for railings, gates, fencing or a front door can immediately impart your style or improve curb appeal.

Painting your front door is an easy and enjoyable task. It is a one-day project that can make the world of different to the appearance of your home with only a little preparation. 

Sandtex Technical Consultant, Matthew Brown, gives a few insightful tips to get great results:

• “When painting onto natural wood ensure surface is clean by wiping with a damp cloth soaked in methylated spirit. 

• Make sure to sand the surface first if painting onto already coated wood. 
• Use an appropriate primer that will provide a foundation for the paint to sit on.
•  Applying an undercoat is a good idea to provide a medium film, it gives the new colour opacity and helps to cover over previously painted wood.
