Simply remove everything attached to the door such as the doorknob, knocker, hinges etc, remove from the frame and place on a flat, horizontal surface, ready to paint. Give it a gentle sanding before you start if needed and then dust it off thoroughly before you begin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2.

Leave it to dry completely before continuing – this may take a few hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3.
