Last summer when we were finishing the construction on our new home, I sprayed all of our trim in white. Along with white trim, I also sprayed the wood framed patio door the same color. It was funny, immediately after that first pass of the sprayer I knew I hated that door being white.
But here’s the deal…everything was taped and ready to be painted right then, I was already spraying white paint, I was OVER the whole thing. We were so tired of working on the house and just wanted to move in as quickly as possible. So repainting a patio door was not on my list of things to complete before moving in. I knew those doors should’ve been black, and one day I’d get around to doing it.
It’s so comical to look back at this picture! It’s so blah.
Fast forward about nine months, I couldn’t take it another day. I don’t know why I put off easy stuff like this! It only took 4 hours start to finish.
Isn’t it so much better!? I just shake my head…no idea what possessed me to go white in the first place.
Here’s what I used:

I painted 2 coats of Lamp Black then 2 coats of Polycrylic. I didn’t bother to tape the glass, after the paint was dry I simply used a razor to scrape the paint off of the glass.
