Which is better: stained or painted fiberglass exterior door?
Comments (0)I want to get a new front door, half-window and made of fiberglass with fake grain. I would like to try a darkish green or blue paint on the exterior and brownish gel stain on the interior (to match the woodwork). Door faces east-southeast. Current door is steel painted dark brown (BM paint); it shows some fading after 10 years (probably faded earlier, but I just now questioned the color). Would the paint color fade? Would fading green be less objectionable than fading blue? If I don't like the paint can I apply stain over it? Which lasts longer: stain or paint? What do you do with the edges (top, bottom, and sides) of the door? Match the inside color or the outside? The trims on both the inside and outside are some sort of brown (stain and paint). Thanks for any help....See MoreWhich exterior grey paint with red/orange bricks?
Comments (1)No responses yet but today I bought a tester of SW Mindful Gray. It's not dry yet but hoping this may work with my bricks. Maybe others have used this color with brick? It seems close enough to the mortar color....See MoreExterior Paint - BM Hale Navy (or Newburyport) - which white for trim?
Comments (4)You're correct that the slightest difference in whites sets a tone for the home. I think the undertone of your home on the exterior should match somewhat with the interior. Does your interior carry warm undertones? If so I would choose a trim that reflects that. Personally, I like the hale navy color, but I tend to favor paint schemes with more of a cool undertone....See MoreWhich yellow paint color is on this house exterior?
