Does anybody know how do i go about painting varnished solid interior doors?

You'll have to sand them down first before you paint themDoes anybody know how do i go about painting varnished solid interior doors?
its pretty simple my friend, but for the best results you have to rub down the old doors first with medium sand paper to rough up the varnish,once thats done rub with a smooth sandpaper and then one coat of good undercoat and one finishing coat of quality paint .


the results are fantastic and will look very good..


good luckDoes anybody know how do i go about painting varnished solid interior doors?
rub down thoroughly with rough sandpaper,then clean with white spirit on a lint free cloth,sand with fine sandpaper,clean again sparingly with white spirit/lint free cloth, then apply two[2] coats


undercoat ,lightly sanding with fine paper between coats,then apply top coat .
You need to buy some Nitro Mors or shop's own varnish remover, then sand down the wood under coat and paint it.
If it is a heavy varnish I would recommend stripping the doors before painting. Try DAD's Stripper sold at Walmart, If it is not heavy varnish you can probably use a liquid sandpaper to rough up the surface and give it tooth for holding the paint. Likely you will have chips to develop if you use either of these methods. Once a piece of wood has been varnished it seals the pores and it is difficult to create a total paint bond that will not chip. Good Luck.
you need to primer undercoat gloss
Well you have to sand them down alittle first and then use a primer made for glossy surfaces like Zinsser 123, or Behr No.73, or Kilz Oil Base and then you should be good to use either oil or latex paint over it. The key is prep because without it you'll never make it.
if you want them top look good strip the varnish off first then sand them its best to start with a clean surface
The trick is using a bonding primer first. Then you can paint them anyway you want.Ask at your paint store or Home Depot brand to use.
i am a painting contractor of 20 years and have done this dozens of times and here is what i found works best%26gt; Go to a paint store ..not home depot or lowes ..and get a primer called x-i-m, and beware its 50 bucks a gallon....but you will not need tosand the door, just apply a coat of the primer and let it dry 2 to 10 hours and then apply the topcoat, the bonding properties of the primer are so good that it saves a lot of extra work.your door will look great
