Security screen doors are manufactured from metal, which needs planning and cautious priming for an efficient paint-job. Painting a safety screen-door is a reasonably simple do-it-yourself process.
Preparing the Door
Use the screwdriver to eliminate most of the hardware in the door, including strikeplates, kickplates and the handles.
Peel off the weather-stripping. Cover the weather-stripping when it can not easily remove.
Clean the door with water and soap. Allow it to dry, then wipe it down using a rag dipped in mineral spirits or alcohol.
Apply masking tape to locations of the do-or which are not to be painted.
Gloves, fill dents or scratches in the door with auto-body filler. Allow the filler.
Use 100-grit sandpaper to sand across the places where the auto-body filler was used by you.
Sand the whole area of the door with 150-grit sandpaper.
Painting the Door
One layer of exterior primer. Allow the primer.
The the surface acrylic paint to the door using a paint sprayer. Allow the paint. Where required, apply another layer of paint.
Reattach the components to the door. Seal the kick-plate, strikeplates and handles using a bead of silicone caulk.
