GATHER YOUR MATERIALS
Start by gathering your materials. For this project you’ll need:
Step #1
![woman wearing mask sanding a front door](https://www.wagnerspraytech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/sand-the-door-1024x609.jpg)
SAND THE DOOR
Start by sanding the door with 150 grit or higher sandpaper. This will help remove the old finish and allow the new coat to have something to stick to.
Step #2

Step #4

PRACTICE YOUR SPRAY PATTERN
Practice your spray pattern on a piece of cardboard. Adjust your air flow, material flow and spray width until you’re satisfied with the spray pattern. Every paint and stain is different, but generally you’ll need to thin exterior paint by 10-15% with the Gravity Nozzle to achieve a super smooth finish.
Step #5

START SPRAYING
Now you’re ready to spray! One tip is to remove the weather stripping on the door so you can paint all the way to the door’s edges without getting paint inside the house.
Step #6

FINISH PAINTING THE DOOR
You can adjust the spray pattern to horizontal or vertical depending on the direction you’re spraying. If you’re completely changing the color of the door, two coats of paint might be needed for best coverage.
