Re: What method should I use to repair this door?

Hello @vas90 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us and thanks for sharing your question about repairing your damaged door.

 

I suggest using 240grit sandpaper and sanding the edge of the damaged paint area. This is done to remove the raised edge of the paint. I then recommend putting a light coat of UNi-PRO 500g Multi Purpose Interior Filler - 500g. Your goal is to remove the unevenness of the surface. 

 

Once the filler cures, sand the surface one more time and give it a good wipe down before you paint over it. I propose using a sample pot in white to cover the damaged area. Please keep in mind that the repaired area will stand out, but it will eventually blend in as the paint slowly fades and gets dusty.

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.
