Modern Masters1 qt 275274 Serene Front Door Paint Water-Based Exterior Enamel, 32 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)

Lovely paint. Lovely results. It was easy, too. Here's how I did it in pictures. YOU can definitely do this. I hope this helps at least a few reluctant painters. A great paint job is really all about preparation, which means assembling the right tools before you start.TOOLS I USED:1.  Purdy 144080310 1-Inch Angular Trim Dale Brush, X-Large 2. Artist brush, #8 Filbert, for touch-up.  Guerrilla Painter Short Handle Bristle Brush, Set of 4, Filberts 3.  Shur-Line 3700C 4-Inch Foam Mini Roller with 12-Inch Handle  Make sure your roller is for SMOOTH SURFACES. It will probably specify "doors and cabinets." The 4-inch size is perfect. The 6-inch size is clumsy for this job but it would work.4. One zipper lock bag, sandwich size. Protects brushes between coats.5. One zipper lock freezer bag, quart size. Protects roller between coats.6. One zipper lock bag, gallon size. Protects paint tray between coats. A small trash bag will work if your tray is too large for a gallon bag.7. Disposable plastic paint tray like  FoamPRO 306 Mini Roller Paint Tray, 6" . I actually reused a plastic vegetable container that previously held a pound of mushrooms. It just needs to be a little larger than the roller.8. Several paper towels9. Less than one roll of painters' tape. The 1-inch size (actually 0.94") is fine for this job.  Scotch ScotchBlue Painter's Tape 2090-24A, .94 in x 60 yd (24 mm x 54,8 m) - 0.94" Width x 60 yd Length - Rubber Resin - Adhesive, Residue-free - 1 Roll - Blue  . A local source may be less expensive.10. Some old plastic as a drop cloth11. Paper for masking glass, etc. Newspaper works fine. I already had some rolled brown paper so I used it.  Trimaco GP12 General Purpose Masking Paper, 12-Inch x 180-Feet, Brown 12. Keep hands neat with disposable gloves.  Ammex AINPF Indigo Nitrile Glove, Medical Exam, Latex Free, Disposable, Powder Free, Large (Box of 100) 13. And of course, the paint.PHOTOS:1. Paint comes packaged like peanut butter. Sealed well. Easy to open.2. Door surface may be smooth or textured. This JELD-WEN "smooth" fiberglass door has just enough surface to hold paint.3. I removed the latch and deadbolt. You could leave them installed and mask them. The glass panel is masked along with the sweep at the bottom and the latch side of the door. On the inside of the door, not shown, is masking at the top and along the hinge side.4. To neatly mask hinges, overlap several strips of tape, a half inch or so above and below the hinge. Then use a utility knife to gently cut along the edge of the hinge. Peel off the excess. Rub the edges to be sure they adhere.5. Before starting brush work, "marinate" your roller. Pour some paint in the quart bag. Put the roller in. Zip bag closed. Make sure the entire roller surface is wet with paint. This eliminates splotchy coverage when you first start rolling. There's not much surface area on a door to "work in" the paint to the roller, thus the "marinated" roller technique.6. Most doors have panels or trim details. Use brush to paint the parts that are not flat. Leave the flat surfaces for the roller.7. You don't have to paint a perfect edge. Just wipe the flat edge with a paper towel to smooth out any paint. You only need SMOOTH, not clean.8. Paint the top of the door. Nobody will see it, but this helps keep a wood-framed door from warping.9. Paint the hinge side the same color as the door. (The latch side is usually the same color as the inside of the door.)10. Bag your wet brush right away. It's okay if the handle sticks out.11. Get to work with your marinated roller.12. Roll the top.13. Roll the rest of the rails.14. Roll the flat part of the panels.15. Bag your tools while the first coat dries.This paint dries nicely--probably one hour. Then do it all one more time. Carefully remove all masking.Wash your brushes with water. Rollers are hard to clean--I usually pull them off the handle and dispose.Easy. Right?I am REALLY PLEASED WITH THIS PAINT. Otherwise I never would have written such a long and detailed review. Thanks for reading. Good luck with YOUR door.

Love the color (i got the "Passionate") but trust me.... This stuff dries FAST.... TOO FAST.... it leaves brush marks.... So, trust me on this... Buy Floetrol latex paint additive too  FLOOD/PPG FLD6-04 Floetrol Additive (1 Quart) ... It will slow the drying time slightly so that the brush marks have time to self level out.... This will ensure you get the beautiful results you're hoping for.

I had primed and painted my metal entry door a few weeks ago and was left with a white door that was so bright, it made my eyes water. After hours of online research, I decided Modern Masters front door paint was the answer to my prayers. I donned my sunglasses and lightly sanded the surface of the door. Then, I applied two light coats of "Hopeful" using a (*)pre-treated sponge roller. This magical paint left a flawless, soft, satiny finish of a pure, pleasing shade of white. Finished the entire door in a matter of 20 minutes and drying time was super quick. The price might seem a bit steep, but a little paint goes a long way. Plus,the results are priceless. Modern Masters superior front door paint gave me results that exceeded my expectations. Also, Modern Masters customer service is exceptional. Super friendly people.(*)Here's a helpful tip I found while researching. When painting with a sponge roller, place it in a small plastic bag and pour a small amount of paint over the roller. Let it sit for about minute, allowing the paint to soak into the roller. Starting with an evenly moistened roller eliminates any potential dry spots during your paint application.

I am a DIY person, with some amount of experience with home painting. To get the effect that is shown in the preview of this product (of the door) it is really important to do ensure a textured look. I bet a smooth finish looks less attractive/ borderline ugly. Here's what I recommend: Use a foam roller like FoamPro 4" roller, it is a high density foam roller, yellow colored one. Also use a corner roller if you door has groves, most doors do have.Step 0: Do all the prep work!Step 1: Ensure you paint the deep corners and hard to reach areas with a regular paint brush. You need to push the paint in into tiny corners. This is a very thick paint, so use a small tip brush (1") and push it in. Get all the cerevices and corners done with the brush. Do not paint the flat areas with the brush as this will leave brush marks. Ensure not to get runs... just wipe off or absorb with a cloth.Warning: This paint dies really fast... and we are going to use this to our advantage here....Step 2: Now to the flat areas, which is the bulk of the visible regions. Use the sponge roller and saturate the roller well. Then gently squeeze out the edges of the roller to remove excess paint (otherwise it will leave edge trails). Now roll the paint on to the flat areas. Go over the entire door.*Here is the trick*Get a sense of when the paint is about to dry out (Depends on your env conditions). Just before it dries out, when it still a bit sticky run the roller over it again and again... this will aggrevate the surface and cause it is bump up with little peaks.... do it a few times util the surface gets a rough appearance. As you do it, the paint dries out and retains the rough shape.Use a corner roller to get this same technique in the groves of the door.Step 3: Perform a second coat, with a same technique as above.Step 4: Use the brush to touch up any small spots. If there are any runs, just even it out using the roller before it tries.If you needs super rough appearance, I suggest using 3x thick primer and use this paint I suggested. There is a primer Zissner 3X or something of that name that is super thick. Note that you do not want to "round" the edges too much with build up. After priming, use a corner blade to re-define the corner/edge of the door.Good luck

I was very bored by my cheap, white door. But since costs of everything are skyrocketing, I wanted an inexpensive update.My best advice is to prep prep prep. There were a few really great, detailed reviews that I found super helpful before. I really cleaned the door well, taped and put down drop cloths everywhere. I also chose to prime my door before, because it's not new and I wanted to make sure this paint applied well.The paint is quite thick and covers REALLY well. I used a brush for the trim (as one of the reviews suggested) and also followed their suggestions for the roller choice. It was SUPER easy and dried well and then I worked on the 2nd coat. 2 coats is enough, but I might apply a 3rd, just for really intense coverage and because when I removed the tape a chip came off.Overall I am EXTREMELY happy with this product and have TONS left over. A little really goes a long way.All my neighbours were super impressed. Many thought we had replaced the door, and when I told them it was paint, they were blown away.I would definitely recommend this product.

I bought the brown colour to repaint a 1972 door at my mother’s that had faded over time. It now looks professionally painted. Even she is pleased, and she is not easily pleased. In terms of process, I did not follow the OCD advice of others’ reviews. I bought a $1.50 foam roller and tray kit from the dollar store and used painter’s tape and a small brush I already had. I removed the handles from the door and taped off the top, sides and window, but left it upright on its hinges. I used the small brush I already had for the trim and used the smooth foam roller for the rest. No need to take the door off. There were no drips Only prep was washing the door well with dish detergent, wiping that all off, wiping again with water to remove any remaining soap then wiping dry with a microfibre cloth. The colour was an exact match to the original colour which was a real bonus! I have about 80% of the jar left over. Door need never look crappy again. Super pleased.

Soo this is the second time ordering this paint because I really wanted to try it the first time it came it was exploded all over the inside of the shipping bag this time the container was already open n there’s streaks in it at this point I’m willing to use it if someone can tell me this is normal nhasn’t bin tampered with I left a question in the question section an answer will be appreciated Edit: I ended up using the paint because after some research I realized the paint exploded because it’s water based and it’s cold out here the paint looks nice although you do need already 3 coats on a freshly primed wooden door yes I used the 123 primer but you will get a nice effect for all your hard work I just wish the seller packaged it in it a box with some insulation during the winter at least I did pay 54 Canadian dollars plus tax for a quart which I hope will be able to do 2 doors but we shall see it’s going to be close

This is the perfect shade of yellow for our house. It actually made our siding look better. The paint dries really quickly so I wouldn't pour a lot out in one go into your pan. It goes on really well though and covers really well. I have only had it on for a few days so I can't say how it does offer time but so far we love it.

Loved the color… The paint worked great on our primed door…(It was red before we primed it, you’d never know now) I used a foam roller & it worked wonderfully. I would definitely purchase again!
