Again, drag your brush up and down vertically with the wood grain
Then paint the horizontally pieces in the middle of the door.
Keep your brush strokes horizontal as you cross over the tall vertical center.
Step 6: Paint the border. Pay attention to the direction of the woodgrain for this last step. The grain on the two sides should flow vertically from top to bottom.
Step 7: The last step is to paint the edges of the door. (Avoid painting the hinges…that’s not very professional either!)
Roll paint onto the edges then smooth them with the paintbrush. Be on the lookout for drips or puddles of paint.Go back and check the face of your door for drips as well.
Let your door dry (30 minutes – 1 hour), then follow up with a second coat of paint. When you are done let the doors dry for 2+ hours before flipping them to paint the other side.
