Re: re-finish door frame

Hi @goyal03,

 

The main step is to sand it back until you have a smooth, clean surface. Focus on the area with the chipped paint and any exposed timber. Start with 120 grit and finish with 240. A detail sander would come in handy for this. If possible, remove the gold-coloured trim so you can get right into the corners and edges; this avoids having to sand around it awkwardly.

 

Once the area is smooth, check for any deep chips or gouges. If there are any, you can fill them with a Builder's Bog, shape it so it’s flush with the surrounding timber, and sand it smooth once it dries. Finally, finish the area with a good-quality enamel paint suitable for timber surfaces, which will give a durable, clean finish and match the rest of the frame. This process will restore the sill and make it look neat again.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

 

Mitchell
