How to repaint wardrobe doors?

geetika

 hello as you can see I had two holes in my bedroom closet door. I have patched it using the selleys repair kit,however the paint is required. Can anyone help me with the suggestions about what type of paint would be best, as this is my first time doing this.

Thanks in advance

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @geetika. It's terrific to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about painting doors.

Dulux Aquanamel would be a suitable paint for your doors. However, you'll need a specialised primer to ensure it adheres to your current paintwork. It's best to give the paint a scuff up with 180-grit sandpaper, then apply Dulux 1L PRECISION White Maximum Strength Adhesion Primer and, when dry, your topcoat paint.

You'll need to colour-match the current paint, which can be done by taking a sample of the paint to your nearest Bunnings paint shop or by picking up colour cards in-store and matching the closest one at home.

I can see the filler is still slightly proud of the door's surface, and this will require more sanding back to make it flush with the door. If the patch starts showing through, then that's an indicator that more filler should be applied and feathered out into the surrounding area.
