Looking for medicine cabinet to put my door front on
Comments (2)I guess I could have one custom made but I know they make such a thing because we had one in our last house. We bought a metal cabinet that came with a thin plastic or metal door. Our cabinet maker then made a door for it and the installer attached it. I just don't know where to buy one now for a do it yourself project. Our GC ordered the last one and I don't even know how much it cost since we built that house back in the days before "cost plus' contracts and such. We don't live in the same city as before so I can't even try to get one where we did last time. Surely I'm not the only person who has put a cabinet door on a medicine cabinet that matches the rest of the cabinetry in the room...Anyone else have any leads??? Thanks....See MoreAny experts? Painting metal front door.
Comments (23)I know the original post is nine years old, but I found this post through a Google search about painting latex over spray paint (which I am encountering in a totally different situation.) I do have experience with painting over spray paint on a metal door 4 years ago (with great success) and we are once again doing this right now, so I thought I would share our technique/product in case someone else is in this situation. We used (and are once again using) Rustoleum Professional High Performance Enamel in a CAN (rather than spray paint.) It is an oil-based paint for metal. When we first used it 4 years ago, we were applying over faded spray paint. Spray paint is pretty durable for an exterior door but can fade terribly. We sanded any rough spots or scratches, and then used a spray primer over any bare metal. We waited a full 24 hours to do any more work. Then, we used a very fine nap small roller to apply the paint, using a small brush where needed (as it was a panelled door.) One coat of a deep red gave beautiful coverage over white primer. We waited a full 24 hours to rehang the door. The door today is as glossy and flawless as it was 4 years ago when we painted it, and it gets full sun, with temps well below freezing in the winter, and hot summers. This time, we're painting over another spray-painted door (should have done them all at once 4 years ago, but didn't.) We're also painting over a door which has never had anything but the factory-applied primer. In both cases, we are again sanding as needed, priming if needed, and applying the oil-based enamel with a fine nap roller and brush. This paint is durable, gives great coverage, and is beautiful....See MoreOld home; new front door; need storm door ideas
Comments (4)I am thankful for any and all suggestions! I appreciate all views. The new door is an insulated steel door by Waudena, out of Wisconsin. I do open the casements windows on either side of the front window, but if the door is open I can see my Purple Martin colony and part of the garden from the kitchen. I live in North Dakota with -20 to -40 temps common in the winter, howling winds, banking snow, and all sorts of lovely weather. A storm door is a necessary evil. Still, in the brief but bright summer, I'd love to have a "view."...See MoreNeed help finding this metal mesh screen design, please
