From Peeling Paint to Perfect Finish: Exterior Door Jamb Prep Guide
What happens here
After sanding, use a brush to thoroughly dust off the entire door jamb, removing all sanding residue and loose particles. Next, carefully remove any existing weather stripping from the door frame, as this will ensure a clean paint line. Finally, use FrogTape Advanced to meticulously mask off all surrounding areas that should not be painted, such as the house siding and the concrete threshold. Lay down masking paper on the ground to catch any drips or overspray.
Goal: Ensure a clean, protected surface ready for primer application.
