Hi all,
I've changed the door theme from stained to white upstairs with all new doors. This leaves me with an unsatisfactory stained theme downstairs and white theme upstairs.
I have a few downstairs doors with 15 small glass panes which I would like to paint white. (I'll replace the unglassed doors.) I've never been greatly successful with masking tape or paint-guards.
Comments please on the following approaches:
- Don't be particularly careful painting around the glass edges, then use a razor blade type scraper.
- I hear some new making tapes are much better - less paint creep underneath; less spoiling on removal. But still a LOT of work to put on !
- Use of paint/stain remover - seems like a lot of work with scraping, etc.
- Any other ideas
I've been advised I will likely need 2 undercoats and 2 top coats to go from stained to white. Agreed ?
Will brown putty behind the glass likely go unnoticed ?
Thanks,
Jim
