Door Painting Hacks for New Construction Interiors

What happens here

Before spraying, ensure the area is well-ventilated, but turn off any forced-air heating systems to prevent dust from circulating. For best results, allow the room temperature to be around 75 degrees Fahrenheit. When spraying, maintain a consistent technique: hit the edges first, then spray the faces, overlapping each pass by 50%. Adjust your spraying speed to ensure the paint goes on wet enough to flow out smoothly without running, but not so dry that it creates a rough texture or uneven overlaps. For multiple doors, using a wider fan tip (e.g., Tritech fine finish 510) helps speed up the process. Once the second coat is applied, let the doors cure for a full day before moving them.

Goal: Apply a smooth, even final coat of paint and ensure proper curing.

What they say

Hide

did for quite a few years. They're plastic. What you don't want to do is set them outside. Once again, you know, um, from my personal experience, today's a windy day. We were working on the house. We set them up outside and, uh, they blew over after I sprayed them. Complete disaster. So, don't stand doors up outside. You can do them stand them up in a garage, you know, drop cloths, uh, paper down, you know, to protect things. So, uh, I stand them up in kind of like in an accordion fashion like this. I like to be able to walk in and out of them, spray. This is very convenient. The house is, uh, just PVA primed. I showed some um videos of this, you know, on social media recently and people are saying, "Oh my gosh, you're getting overspray on the roof, on the ceiling, and it's only PVA primed. It doesn't matter where you get overspray anywhere you get. Um doesn't matter getting overspray on the floor cuz just like the ceiling, uh the floor is going to be covered with tile, um LVP or carpet, something is going to be covering this subfloor." Another thing,
