Best paint for interior doors?
Hi there
Wondering if anyone can recommend best type and brand of paint for interior doors?
The current doors are modern wooden fire doors - flat no panelling. Would you recommend sanding this first?
Thanks

I would recommend sanding the doors, applying an oil-based undercoat and then finish with an oil-based Satinwood paint. Leave plenty of time for the undercoat to fully dry.

Best one I used is Farrow and Ball. Regarding sanding you have to do it if they have paint on it. New doors usually comes primed. Any way I’d recommend to use a Zinsser 123plus primer, one or two coats and then paint 2 or 3 coats. You need to use quality brush or roller with short hair, for wood ( Hamilton or Purdy)

If they have got a shine on them like a varnish I would recommend sanding them first then use a primer or undercoat before glossing

Oil based dulux undercoat
Top coat with dulux satinwood
Sanding not essential unless door has imperfections.
