Re: Refreshed screen door using spray paint

That looks fantastic, @projectmumdanni

 

Our members always love a painted aluminium door project, so any additional details on how you went about the process would be appreciated. Did you need to prepare the screen door at all? What colour was it before?

 

Great work, and many thanks for sharing.

Re: Sundays are for sanding and spraypainting

Hi Mitchell..I sanded the frame and wiped it down and sprayed it with water from hose. It was that ugly brown colour. I then layed screen door at an angle against our deck and held paint about 20cm give or take and sprayed. Did use nearly two cans of spray paint.

Re: Refreshed screen door using spray paint

It looks so good @projectmumdanni . I find colours like that brown weird to have been in fashion at some stage in the past, but the white has made it so much better!

Did you remove the door handles/hardware to paint separately or just did it all together? Thanks!

Hello @ChloeN

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. Thanks for joining the discussion.

 

Let me tag @projectmumdanni to make them aware of your questions. Looking at the photo they posted, it looks like the handle was painted as well. I think it looks great because you don't get that door handle contrast making it look really modern. If you plan on doing something similar, please make sure to post an update. I'm sure our members would be keen to see your screen door once it s painted.

 

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

 

Eric
