Re painting door frames
Page 1 of 1
Same question in relation to a little chip of paint off the bottom of a toilet door. A painter has said the whole door will nee reprinting,,,, is that because we're dealing its oil based enamels or more so a perfectionist painter?
Depends how big the chips are.
If white the oil based paint would have yellowed so matching could be difficult hence the suggestion to repaint the whole door or frame.
Normally I would use an appropriate filler, sand then undercoat then regloss.
Thanks YNOTDOY. Door frames aren't yellow as thy are new. When I say chips it's more like paint has been knocked off. I'm also looking to fill the lower door frame stay "holes" that are normally covered by the height of tiles but in a couple of doors we have the polished concrete. I've seen how to fix these with auto bog so it's a weekend DIY job and then maybe a whole frame repaint if the patch looks no good. Thankfully they are right down near the floor.
I have used epoxy putty for similar repairs. Usually found in paint departments of hardware stores.
