Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Mar 11, 2010 9:30 am Can you paint a front door one colour on the outside and another on the inside? My problem is I want a white inside, I would also like white frames but havent seen a combination I like that includes this with a front door. Anyone has frontages with white doors and white frames they can show me? We also need a render colour to match Just think you may be designing my house ahahah RHI - BALDIVIS PERTH 2005 Bought/Finished WA Housing Centre Home 2010 Building the Benchmark with REDINK Homes in The Avalon 2013 Building the Michigan with Cont3nt Living In Highbury Estate! Re: PAINTING A FRONT DOOR TWO COLOURS? 2Mar 11, 2010 9:35 am I have done what you have for my laundry door. Inside its white and outside is dune. On my main entrace door i have done the frames white on the inside dune on the outside while the actual door is stained. I will see if i can dig out pics Re: PAINTING A FRONT DOOR TWO COLOURS? 3Mar 11, 2010 9:38 am oh thats good news, I was thinking it couldnt be done and I would be stuck. We want a nice fresh white inside but with our outside colours we are getting a dark colour door so we were a little stuck.

Re: PAINTING A FRONT DOOR TWO COLOURS? 4Mar 11, 2010 9:41 am Yeah i am paiting the frames myself. So I plan to join the colors where the rubber weather strip goes around the frame. (Raven product 48) this should give it a neat finish. I actually really llike the contrast from the dark color of the stain and the different color of the frame. Re: PAINTING A FRONT DOOR TWO COLOURS? 5Mar 11, 2010 10:01 am Easy peasy! My front doors are black on the outside and white inside...can't get more of a contrast than that!

Re: PAINTING A FRONT DOOR TWO COLOURS? 9Mar 11, 2010 11:59 am Here are some pics taken very quickly! The frame showing the join between black and white (bit messy in places...), and the stuck on black weather strip (which I think is essential!): Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Taken from outside looking in. Once the door is opened, the edge that faces out into the street is painted the same colour as the front door: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ I'm not sure if you are having double doors, or just one, but this is the weather strip in between the two doors. It doesn't show up terribly well, but where the other door shuts up against the fixed door, there is a small white rubber edge along the height of the door to seal the draughts: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Again, the door is opened and the side that faces in is the same colour as the interior.
