A POWERFUL FIRST IMPRESSION
一個強有力的第一印象
Your front door is more than the entrance to your home. It is a crucial design element in curb appeal and a great place to add a splash of color. Renewing your front door with fresh paint is a great weekend project. Here are the steps on how to do it right.
大門不僅僅是你家的門口。這是為自己的家增添吸引力的至關(guān)重要的設(shè)計元素，也是一個增加矚目的色彩的好地方。用最新款油漆來翻新自己的大門是一個偉大的周末項目。下面的步驟教你如何正確的施工。
One of the biggest challenges in painting your front door is scheduling the time for the project. During the project you are preparing the door, painting, and applying in between coats, all while your entry will be open. Ideally, you would take the door you are painting down, and place a temporary door in its place. Most of us don’t have a spare door laying around we could use. Because of this, we recommend using a latex paint that dries fast to minimize the dry-time between coats and shutting the door.
粉刷大門的最大挑戰(zhàn)之一就是為項目安排時間。在項目期間，你要為大門做好粉刷，遮蓋等準(zhǔn)備工作，這段時間里你的大門口都處于打開狀態(tài)。理想的情況是，你可以把你正在油漆的那扇門拆掉，然后在它的位置放一扇臨時的門。但我們大多數(shù)人都沒有多余的門可以使用。正因為如此，我們建議使用快速易干的乳膠漆，以盡量減少的干燥時間。

Remove the Door or Paint in Place?
把門移開粉刷還是原地粉刷好？
First, you have to decide whether you want to remove the door from its hinges or paint it in place. This is personal choice on how you want to work. Some people will find it much easier to remove the door and place it on saw horses, but these steps will also work well if you decide to leave it in place.
首先，你必須先決定你是想要把門拆下來粉刷還是原地粉刷。這是你個人選擇，視乎你想怎樣施工。有些人會發(fā)現(xiàn)，把門拆掉并把它放在木架上要更容易。但若您決定將原地施工，那么下面步驟也會很有效。
Prepare the Door
大門的準(zhǔn)備工作
Start by removing the door handle, lock, and deadbolt assemblies. You can also protect these with masking tape, but it is much easier to get a nice finish not worrying about going around these. Thoroughly clean the door to remove all the dirt, dust, and hand oils that collect over time. To get the smoothest finish possible will require some elbow grease. Carefully sand the entire door surface starting with 120 grit sandpaper and finishing with 220 grit sandpaper to remove all the dings, dents, and rough spots. Make sure you clean off any of the dust from your door before you begin to paint.
先從拆卸門把手、鎖和螺栓組件開始。您也可以使用膠帶保護這些設(shè)備，但如果不用擔(dān)心這些東西的話，你就更容易獲得漂亮的色澤。要徹底的清潔整扇大門，清除所有長時間積聚的污物，灰塵和手漬油漬。要想得到平滑的表面可能需要一些費力的工作。先用120目砂紙小心地打磨整個門面，然后再用220砂紙磨光，以去除所有的紋路、凹痕和粗糙的斑點。在開始粉刷之前，一定要把大門上的灰塵清除干凈。
Protect parts of the door you don’t want to paint with masking tape and masking paper. Also protect the floor if you are painting the door in place with drop clothes or plastic.
使用遮蔽膠帶保護您不想粉刷的大門部分。如果你是在原地粉刷大門，那么還要用廢舊衣服或者塑料來保護好地板。
tarting to Paint開始粉刷
No matter what, we recommend applying a primer first. It minimizes problems, and our Diamond Prime Universal Primer is a great choice. It promotes adhesion on tough to stick to surfaces, minimizing the potential for peelin. It also has stain blocking pigments that help block imperfections from reappearing in your finish coat. For flat doors, applying the primer by a roller cover is a great way to ensure a smooth finish. A great choice is one of the microfiber or foam roller covers. If you have a paneled door, a combination of a brush and roller cover is the best choice (see below for more information on how to paint a panel door).
無論如何，我們都建議先涂底漆。它能把問題最小化，我們的Diamond Prime Universal Primer（底漆）是一個不錯的選擇。它可以促進堅韌的表面粘附，最大限度地減少剝落風(fēng)險。它還具有防污顏料，可幫助阻止缺陷重新出現(xiàn)在面漆上。對于表面平整的大門，通過滾筒涂抹底漆是確保表面平滑的好方法。最好的選擇之一是用超細纖維或泡沫進行輥涂。如果你家的是鑲板門，則刷子和滾筒蓋的組合是最好的選擇（更多關(guān)于如何粉刷鑲板門的信息，請參閱下文）。
After giving the primer enough time to dry, you can move on to applying the finish. In most cases, Diamond Prime Universal Primer can be coated in 2 hours, but it depends on temperature and humidity.
給底漆足夠的時間烘干后，你可以繼續(xù)涂漆。在大多數(shù)情況下，Diamond Prime Universal Primer（底漆）可以在2小時內(nèi)涂上，但它取決于當(dāng)時的溫度和濕度。
For the finish, SureFlo Acrylic Latex Enamel is an outstanding choice and is available in a satin or gloss sheen. It has incredible flow and leveling, making it extremely forgiving in creating a smooth, even surface. Anti-sag properties also make it much easier to apply, especially on paneled doors. SureFlo can be recoated in 4 hours, allowing you to apply many coats in a day. In most situations it dries to the touch in as little as 30 minutes. We recommend allowing the paint to dry as long as possible before closing the door to minimize the chance of it sticking to the frame. SureFlo does have built-in block resistance reducing the likelihood of it sticking to other painted surfaces, but it takes at least 24 hours for the block resistance to fully develop.
對光澤度來講，SureFlo Acrylic Latex Enamel是一個杰出的選擇，它有絲光和亮光兩種光澤。它具有令人難以置信的流動性和流平性，使其非常容易形成光滑，均勻的表面。防凹陷特性也使它更容易應(yīng)用，特別是在鑲板門上。 SureFlo可以在4小時內(nèi)重新涂覆，使您可以在一天內(nèi)涂上許多層。在大多數(shù)情況下，只需30分鐘即可干燥。我們建議在關(guān)閉門前盡可能長時間地將油漆干燥，以盡量減少灰塵粘在邊框上的機會。SureFlo確實具有內(nèi)置的阻擋阻力，減少了粘附到其他涂漆表面的可能性，但它至少需要24小時才能完全表現(xiàn)出來。
Remember, paint dries faster in higher temperature, lower humidity, or when exposed to direct sunlight. Avoid painting in these conditions when possible.
記住，油漆在較高溫度，較低濕度或直射陽光下干燥速度較快。盡可能避免在這些情況下進行涂刷
painting paneled doors粉刷鑲板門
Painting paneled doors can be challenging unless you start with a plan. Begin by using a brush to paint the recessed areas of the panels. Then, using either a brush or a roller, paint the faces of the panels, followed by the rails and stiles of the door. Try to minimize painting into partially dried paint film to reduce unsightly brush or roller marks.
除非你從一開始就計劃，否則粉刷一扇鑲板門可能會很有挑戰(zhàn)性。首先用刷子涂刷鑲板門的凹陷區(qū)。然后，使用刷子或滾筒，涂抹鑲板門的表面，然后涂上門的欄桿和兩側(cè)柵欄。盡量減少粉刷漆膜已干的部分，進行噴涂，以減少不美觀的刷痕或滾痕
