Hi All,

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @fatima. We're pleased to have you join us and trust you'll get plenty of help and inspiration for all your home improvement projects from our wonderful members. 

 

You might be best served contacting the door's manufacturer for any specific requirements for their product, but our members will certainly be happy to assist as much as we can. Do you know what type of timber has been used? That could help in ensuring any stain you use is the colour you are looking for.

Hello @fatima 

 

That is a beautiful stain you've decided to put on your door. Aside from calling the manufacturer, I also suggest visiting your local store and having a look at the stain and varnish sample board. You'll get a much better idea of what the colours look like when applied to timber. You can also speak to the paint specialist at the store in regards to achieving the stain you're after.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
