[Music] We're getting ready to paint the front door, and we don't want to leave this door, this opening, open all day. Flies will get in, heat or cold will get in or out. We don't want to do that, so we use double-sided tape. I remove the front door using... if you don't have this tool, you definitely need to get this tool. So, a hinge pin remover, a spring tool, a hinge pin remover. This little tool here. Removing the hinge pins is simple and easy with this, and you won't damage the trim, you won't damage the door. I remove the door handle, this knob, right? Typically, sometimes I remove the handle, sometimes I don't. Now, if it's an old handle, we've removed old handles before, and the internal components crumbled, and then it becomes our responsibility to replace it. Sometimes it can be a big expense. It's always better to paint behind the lights, behind the knobs, things like that. Because if the client ever changes this, then the old color will be behind it, and it's really hard to touch up. This knob here, I started to remove it. It's a security lock, and it had some components on the other side that lent themselves to... not to be removed. So I'm not going to remove that. We remove the weatherstripping from the bottom. We don't want to paint that. It's easy to remove. I'm going to sand it lightly. We have some kind of adhesive on the bottom here. I need to clean that up. We're masking the glass. We're going to mask the door, and on the front doors, we only spray the face of the door. We don't spray the sides of the door. So if I remove the doorknob, I'm going to remove the plunger so it comes out simply and easily. We sand it lightly, clean it up lightly, and get ready to spray. We're going to show you the spraying process. Typically, I spray with an airless sprayer, a 310 tip. This side of the door, which the door, when it opens, is exposed to the front, has overspray on all the hinges, you know, from the previous painters and stuff. We're just going to mask right over that and only spray the [Music] face to see if it works. Yeah, so the acetone is taking right out. Whatever. I'm going to lightly sand the door with my cassette sander. 3x4 I don't want to touch this knob that we can't remove because you'll end up scratching it [Music] Because it will bind these contours very easily quick and easy so I'll go with my 3x4 sander and I'm just going to dust my door and I'm going to mask the glass with Frog tape. Clean this up very well then I'll wipe it with a rag before spraying it. I don't want any dust particles on it at all, just dust it up very well using a stiff brush. This is where it's going to be essential to have a knife, a sharp knife to cut the edges. I don't want to get to the white and if I get to the white when I pull back my masking you're going to see white, so I'm going to make sure that none of my masking is touching the white door. It's literally going to be just a hairline above that. Now I'm just going to take this, so I'm going to take my masking now and go around the edge just like this. So again I'm using Frog tape because I don't want anything to bleed under this tape. Now what happens if there's a bit of wind, which is where this could whip around and hit the top of your door. So I'm always going to tack this now I've got my door shot, so I'm always hoping to shoot the door in one go. I've had cotton leaves fall, you know, cotton fall on a door, a beetle comes up and walks on it and leaves its tracks. That's happened to me many times in my career. Always carry tweezers with you. Tweezers will be your best friend when you're spraying a door. So I'm going to inspect very, very closely to make sure I don't need to do a second coat. Once I know I'm not going to have to do two coats, I take the mask off and that's it. Typically, what I do is put it out in the sun and that will dry it really Music] Bo Boise Boise Bo. So a simple little tip when it comes to removing masking: in a lot of situations, you'll get paint bridging from your masking to your surface or substrate. What you've painted, if you just pull this off, it might bridge in some areas and the paint will peel off. In the area you don't want it to paint, it will peel off. of the substrate. So I'm going to score it. I'm going to use a super sharp knife, a new blade on a double-edged knife. I'm going to score everything first before I start peeling it off. Take your time, score slowly, and then start removing the mask. If you don't do this, you could end up with a mess. It would be difficult to retouch. Now I'm going to use my double-edged knife to start a corner, and it should mostly come off in one piece. It comes off much faster than it goes on. We don't remove this when the door is wet; it's too risky. We remove everything else. [Music] What you don't want to do is touch this door either. Make sure that if you touch the door with your hands, your hands are washed and clean because it's dry, but not here. So there it is. The door is back. If you put it on the handle after putting the weatherstripping back on, blue door. [Music] Ah. [Music]
