Question:

How do I paint indoor metal door?

I am in the process of stripping the inside of my garage (into kitchen) door. It is metal, and has about 6 layers of paint that are coming off. I dont want to go through this again, so I need some pointers. First, can I use a latex paint? If so, semi-glossy, or high gloss? It previously had eggshell on it, and attracted SO much grime. I would prefer not to use oil-based paint unless absolutely necessary, as fumes can trigger seizures.

Answer:

1) Remove Hardware and Weather Stripping 2) Remove Excess Window Glazing 3) Clean and Mask 4) Fix Dents, Sand and Prime then use a brush, roller or spray to paint the door good luck
Once okorder /webapp/wcs/stor... Roll on a coat of interior semi-gloss water-based latex paint with foam roller. (if the door leads outside use exterior latex paint on the other side of the door)
First, you can use latex, but make sure the primer can be used on metal. Your local paint store should have a salesperson to guide you to the right primer. I would suggest a latex semi gloss for the finish, but that is just a preference. As long as you get a good quality paint, like Porter paint, it will be highly washable not matter what the sheen. The hard part is the preperation. Once you have the door stripped just prime and paint.
