leonardgid Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 hello raiders , one of the garage sheds has a hollow door that is more like an interior door , because every time it rains water gets on it it is in need of repair , i have sanded it and used 3 coats of water based sealer primer undercoat , i know that no matter what type of paint it will eventually need to be replaced but for now what is the best type of top coat paint that i can use on it , thank you for your advice and time .

PaddyT Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Ran a swim school for many tears with huge amounts of humidity etc- sealed the doors on the bottom with solvent based enamel and painted the surfaces with aquanamel- if i didnt seal the bottoms they rotted from bottom up.

noelm Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Measure the door, go to the dump recycling place and buy a door the right size, cost $15 or so, job done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddyT Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 phone the landlord -ask him to buy you a new door and the paint-you provide the labour-most landlords (even the real a-holes) are open to that sort of deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welster Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Modern doors even well painted external doors are a short term proposition exposed to the weather. You can get fiberglass ones now i havent used one though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
