Home Door Painting FAQs
What Color Should You Not Paint Your Front Door?
For many years homeowners were advised to avoid orange paint on their front door. Orange faded quickly and was hard to retouch and maintain. However, with new advancements in paint technology fading and matching any color of paint is no longer a problem. Homeowners should feel free to choose any color of paint they like.
What Are the Best Conditions to Paint a Front Door?
An overall general rule of thumb is that oil-based paint can be applied when the temperatures are between 40?- 90? F and latex paint is best applied between 50?- 85? F.
In What Order Do You Paint a Front Door?
At RDO Painting, we let each side of the door dry before turning it over to work on the other side. Our team adds at least two coats of paint to the door, using three or more if customers want to increase the color saturation.
