Front Door Paints are used to
create bold, vibrant and welcoming paint colors. They
are specifically formulated with the finest ingredients
that are resistant to ultraviolet degradation combined
with highly fade resistant pigments. Early block resistant
properties and quick re-paint times allow applicators to
easily finish painting and close the door in an 8 hour
period. Product can be brush, roll or spray applied.

Dry Times – Dry-to-touch is approximately 30-45
minutes. Recoat time is approximately 1 hour. Note:
Dry times were recorded at 6 mil wet film thickness on a
sealed surface at 75°F and 50% RH. Lower
temperature and/or higher humidity may lengthen the
dry and cure times.
Coverage – Theoretical yield is 80-100 square
feet/quart at 1.5 mils dry film thickness per coat. A 2 to
3 mils dry film thickness is required for hide and full
color development.
Surface Preparation – Follow standard practices and
procedures for properly preparing surfaces for the
application of traditional water-based acrylic paint. All
surfaces to be painted must be entirely free of dust, dirt,
oil, grease, and other contaminants. If the previously
painted surface is sound, clean and dry then you can
proceed with painting. If the surface has been damaged
then completely remove all loose, flaking, or chalking
paint from the surface. Use a NIOSH approved
respirator when sanding and when working with old,
loose paint particles. Provide adequate ventilation.
Properly prime the repaired surface and allow curing
before painting. Note: Always prime new, unpainted
doors and shutters.
Recommended Primer for unfinished wood, metal
or doors previously painted with an oil based paint:
Bulls Eye 1-2-3 by Zinsser
Factory finished doors and shutters should be
primed before applying Front Door Paint. We
recommended Bulls Eye 1-2-3 by Zinsser.
