Thanks Mike you’re the paint god. I live in Florida and there’s a local company called Florida Paints. Their products are absolute garbage zero adhesion, bubbles, peels, horrible outgassing, and takes forever to dry and cure. They flagrantly falsely advertise their AllGrip brand of paint to adhere to metal when it doesn’t. Doesn’t stick to even bare wood. I was swindled into trying that paint brand out and it cost me big time. Even over factory painted aluminum zero adhesion even when properly sanded and deglossed/degreased. Their binder is trash. I went back to Sherwin Williams to get a color match of the same paint color but in their industrial pro series of DTM paint and the difference between the two paints was night and day! It’s hard finding out Florida Paints reputation in the industry because it’s geared towards clueless homeowners and general contractors in new home construction (where the warranty takes care of complaints) not for professional remodeling projects. You put out such great content dude that helps guys like me get started trying to build a business and not work for the man. You keep the dream alive! 👍
How do you go about painting the edges on top and sides behind the vinyl seal? And in between for when the door opens? For example if they wanted this white door painted dark?
Never paint those areas (cracks with the door open) unless you want some serious problems. Door sticking. I also never paint behind the seal....WHY? it may only be visible when the door is moving. Creating problems. Door sticking and other issues. Why would you paint something you cant see? makes no sense.

@@mikethepainter thanks Mike!
Beautiful door, where do you get the embellishments?
magnets on amazon
Do you mask everything and little windows or take them off...
we slide paper behind them. Used to take them off but putting them back in is hard not to break them or scratch them easier.
