Front door dilemma

9 years ago

I am so torn on what to paint the front door! I love the blues, but I’m nervous. Roof and lighting is all black.. should I just stick with black? It’s getting repainted because the front door had some scratches. House color is a custom grey from SW.

Can't tell if you have it up there or not but you might take a look at SW Cloudburst. It's a little "dirtier" and might work with your gray and black.

What color is the trim? I like that against the gray siding. Do it in a gloss finish…will provide a different dimension.

I like a blue or sherbet orange against gray.

why nervous? it's only paint! I like the color combo. make sure you use a primer on that wood first, either a spray shellac or good oil base primer (both come in spray cans to make it easier. always fine sand after primer since it can raise the grain)

use your hand to make sure it's nice and smooth after priming. Agree about High Gloss Paint. BM Advance is glossier than SW Pro Classic.

Duh....I read too fast. At any rate, it's an exceptional color. I have Rainwashed in my guest bath and like that as well. Warm turquoise is pretty too. Of course, those are some of my favorites colors so I like almost all of them!

That makes two of us, Kat! I read it too fast also. Anyway, my vote is for Green Trance and it's still very soothing! (Maybe that's why they call it Trance, lol)
