BEST Way To Paint Doors. AIRLESS SPRAYING.

What happens here

Thoroughly clean the door surfaces with a mixture of Dawn dish soap and water, using a clean microfiber towel. This step is crucial to remove any contaminants like dirt, dust, or oils that could lead to 'fisheye' imperfections in the paint finish. Fisheyes occur when surface tension of the contaminants differs from the paint, causing the paint to move away and create small circular defects.

Tools and materials

  • Dawn Dish Soap
