Painting doors is a tricky job, even for professional painters. Doors are usually painted with glossy paint, so the finish needs to be very smooth or it will ruin the final look. Taubmans make it easy for paint selection for doors and trim with its wide range of paint finishes and sheen levels.

You can group door painters into two main types: the brush lovers and the roller riders. Each type has their preferences based on speed, finish and habit. We like to get the best of both worlds and share tips to help you do the best door painting job, whether you’re a brush person or a roller person.

Paint colours and shades can go through drastic changes from the application to the drying process. 

Whether you're touching up a room and want to match colours, or if you're planning on experimenting with a different paint colour, testing it on a small patch can calm the nerves and reassure you of the colour you’ll get in the end. Test pots are a great way to ensure you've found the perfect shade and finish.
