The old door has had it's facelift!
Some of the leftover spotted gum decking has been used for the door trim and varnished with some clear marine varish that I already had, not that it gets wet but I'm trying use up what I already have laying around.
I like trying new paint finishes and I wanted this door to look as metal as a wooden door can look and today I found Porters Paint "Industrial Lustre" it's a metal effect paint and is only available in a handful of dark colours, I chose Base Metal. It's my new favourite paint...self priming, touch dry 20mins, washes up in water and recoat in 2 hours!!
Door filled and sanded, under the old mushroom colour was a blue and then a white. As much as I do like a distressed door this just wasn't working with the rest of the room.
This paint is really thick and has metal filaments in it which sparkle in the light
