We will restore the interior pine door , covered with a thin layer of oil paint.
- First remove the old paint with a drill and an iron brush. Do not press strongly so as not to damage the wood fibers. If there is a little paint left - it's okay - it will then be painted over.
- Now, along the entire length of the door, you need to walk through a sanding block for polishing, in order to qualitatively finish the surface for painting. If necessary, potholes can be puttyed.
- Paint the remaining paint with a gun.
- Allow the paint to dry and apply another layer to cover the old coating, apply a second coat with a stiff brush, carefully painting over the remains of the old paint.
- In order to achieve the "aging" effect, we apply a layer of liquid wax. At this stage, you can use a special lacquer.
