Painting Hall Door

mvpr · 2008-09-24 11:58:52

Hi there, I'm painting the front door of my house. Have it primed and undercoated. Just wondering bout the final gloss finish - do people do one or two coats of gloss? Want it looking perfect. Cheers in advance...

Here's a link to where I found my answer:

I went with 2xprimer/1xundercoat. Next steps, 2x topcoats with paint thinned down 10% or so. Let me know if this is crazy!
