The placement has to cover the whole width of the door space with an extra 1-2 feet.<\/p>\n<p>Step 3) Cover Up Un-paint Areas<br \/>\nUse tapes to protect unwanted areas like hinges and door knobs from being tainted with drips or paint.<\/p>\n<p>Step 4) Sand the Surface<br \/>\nIf you want to smoothen the door&#8217;s surface before starting the painting work, you can do it with medium or fine-grade sandpaper.<\/p>\n<p>Step 5) Wipe Clean the Surface<br \/>\nUse a dry or damp cloth to clean the door from dust or dirt before the painting job.<\/p>\n<p>Step 6) Apply Our Primer<br \/>\nUsing a quality primer on the door is recommended to help the paint glide more smoothly.<\/p>\n<p>Try our <a style=\"color: blue;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mcipaint.com.my\/product\/detail\/blue-i-undercoat\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BLUE-i Undercoat<\/a>.
