Step 4: Paint the panels first.
Using a small roller to paint doors can greatly speed the process. Begin by rolling paint on the panels.
Work quickly by rolling on the paint, then use a brush to smooth out the paint and fill in any spots missed by the roller. Follow the arrow directions above when brushing on the paint.
Drag your brush in the same direction as the woodgrain on your door. This will highlight the grain and keep your door looking neat and clean. NEVER run your brush strokes perpendicular to the wood grain. This does NOT look professional.
Step 5: Next roll the inside cross pieces. Start by rolling and painting the center vertical piece.
