Re: How to repaint a door with peeling paint?

Hi @m_ee_e,

 

To successfully repaint your door, it's important to address the peeling paint thoroughly. The compromised layer needs to be entirely removed by sanding; this ensures that the new paint adheres properly and prevents future peeling.

 

Once you've sanded off all the peeling sections, you can apply a quality primer, like Dulux Precision Max Adhesion Primer, to create a solid base for your new paint. After priming, your matte topcoat will have a much better surface to adhere to, ensuring a smooth and long-lasting finish. 

 

Here's a helpful step-by-step guide: How to paint a door.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.
