Techniques of Door Painting

Flowtrol is the easiest to use in doors so that it keeps your paint wet longer. Generally we can use a small roller to do the sections of the door and brush it out using long strokes. Make sure that you are overlapping, bringing your brush back into the area you just painted. Advantage is that it takes 1/3 the time of brushing alone and keeps the paint in a workable condition. Load up your roller with paint and we have to roll out the raised middle section in a few strokes. Take your brush, dip it in paint then brush what you just rolled, make sure that your brush angle matches the 45 degree angle of the corners then stroke out the corners. We have to start at the bottom, overlapping onto the vertical edges then you can get 6" up between the panels as well. Use the same techniques up to vertical, horizontal and top. It should take two or three min per section once you get good.
