Your persistence is admirable. When that rust appeared after the first primer coat, all I could think was "if it were me, I'd grab a hammer, beat the hell out of that door, and head straight for Home Depot." You certainly know your equipment. You did a beautiful job.
Thank you so much for taking the time to complete this project and share with the world! I was going to buy a door and spend$$$$ but now I can spend less and take the time fix my current door. I appreciate your patience sir. Well done👏🏽
Give this man his own show! Engaging, detailed and amazing attitude & final product! I love the mentality to save what’s worth saving and not tossing what can be repaired with some effort and pride! Bless this man and his channel! Subbed. I’ll be learning new skills here I didn’t even know I needed.
90,000+ views and 1,200+ likes and granted many are stopping by to get a quick know-how. This is a rare DIY with a multitude of great tips and advice and it was worth watching all the way through! Thank you for all your time on this and for showing so much detail so the average DIY doesn't feel like they've defeated, and in such a harsh economy they get to win one battle if they put the work into it. God bless!
Great job I have to do are door I painted the house with some help and it was hot so did not do the Doors. That's next with making the entrance look great thank you this is my first metal door and I was thinking about rust with it. Take care.
I use car putty it takes a lot of time to find all the dents and to fill them up takes a lot of time I used a roller to paint but may be I'll use a paint gun . But umm looks great u did a nice job.
Thank you so much for sharing your real DIY life experience ! I learned so much and feel more confident to do the same for my entry door. I also very much appreciated the end of your video where you explained how you would do the same project if you had to . Very good pedagogy 👍👍👍👍
That door sweep is pure nylon they get memory after awhile. They're super cheap and don't last long. I work with ext. Doors all day long. I'm constantly hammering those sweeps in.
I bought some spray pain in cans and hopefully I can tape it off so that I won't have to remove the door. will sand it but will not use primer. don't think I need it with the spray can paints. will see what happens. nice job.
Thank you! Going to try mine!! Don’t have a sprayer. May be able to afford a cheap little one. ($80 or under) Would you suggest that or just using a brush?
You can brush it and if you use the M1 that I used in this video it should level out the brush marks. You could also rent a sprayer from lowes, home depot or any rental store for probably $50. Glad you liked the video. Thanks for watching.
great video, nice job! would it have been possible to spray the paint with the HVLP instead of the airless? I'm wondering if it's worth it to get an airless in addition to a HVLP, since the airless units appear to waist the excess remaining paint in the tube when cleaning up.
Yes I could have done it with my HVLP and your right it definitely waste less paint. I have a video on how I clean my airless and do all I can to recover all the paint back. But in the end it still does waste more paint than HVLP. The airless is more for bigger jobs. Thanks for watching and glad you liked it.
Great work Oakley! Enjoyed the video. I'm worried I can't remove the door as I live in a condo. Any suggestions for painting while the door is still attached?
thank you and glad you liked it. If your front door opens to the outside and not into a hallway you could sand it in place. To paint with a sprayer you could use a 3m masker with plastic and mask off your entry and make it a spray booth so all overspray stays contained. If don't want to do that then could just spray it closed. Thanks for watching.
I used the orbital sander to remove the paint down to metal, used wire wheel on drill for the contours. When doing the primer sanding did it by hand. Thanks for watching.
Hey Mr. Oakley, I painted my Metal Front Door which is a very hard to get certain type paint. But I didn’t sand the door first I just kind of washed it. The guy at Sherman Williams said that I didn’t need to sand it first, just paint over it he said. Well I think he was wrong. I mean I painted the door. But it doesn’t look super smooth. Do I have to repaint it again But sand it first?
If you don't like the finish then yes I would sand the door. I would actually sand off the new paint down to the old color. Then primer the door, sand the primer with 220 and then paint your new color. Thanks for watching.
Was thinking it was because I used water first then alcohol to clean the surface before priming. It seemed to happen mostly around where the bondo was so thought that I didn't let it dry/evaporate enough before priming. Thanks for watching
You mentioned ‘ Safety feature so that they won’t break into your house .’ How can someone break into your house from inside ?’ ( the piba in the hinges are on the inside .)

I bought some spray pain in cans and hopefully I can tape it off so that I won't have to remove the door. will sand it but will not use primer. don't think I need it with the spray can paints. will see what happens. nice job.
Sounds great!
Wowww what great info thank youuu
Thank you, glad it helped and thanks for watching
Thank you! Going to try mine!! Don’t have a sprayer. May be able to afford a cheap little one. ($80 or under)

You can brush it and if you use the M1 that I used in this video it should level out the brush marks. You could also rent a sprayer from lowes, home depot or any rental store for probably $50. Glad you liked the video. Thanks for watching.

How does someone get so many dents on their door?
I'm not bothering with door removal. I'm sanding it in place and painting mine by hand.
furniture moving. people not being careful, holding all kinds of things as they come in the door@@boomtimesports5410
When you sanded all the paint off did you use the manual sand paper? Or did you use the power sander?
I used the orbital sander to remove the paint down to metal, used wire wheel on drill for the contours. When doing the primer sanding did it by hand. Thanks for watching.
What color finish is this?
Sherwin-Williams charcoal blue in satin. Thanks for watching
You should put a metal etching primer first before you put Bondo on bare metal.
Hey Mr. Oakley, I painted my Metal Front Door which is a very hard to get certain type paint. But I didn’t sand the door first I just kind of washed it. The guy at Sherman Williams said that I didn’t need to sand it first, just paint over it he said. Well I think he was wrong. I mean I painted the door. But it doesn’t look super smooth.

If you don't like the finish then yes I would sand the door. I would actually sand off the new paint down to the old color. Then primer the door, sand the primer with 220 and then paint your new color. Thanks for watching.
Did you paint with a brush? If so you might need to add leveler in it. They could help you at the paint store with it.
What do you think caused the rust after priming?
Was thinking it was because I used water first then alcohol to clean the surface before priming. It seemed to happen mostly around where the bondo was so thought that I didn't let it dry/evaporate enough before priming. Thanks for watching
I wouldn't use extreme bond primer, use a regular gray auto primer in a spray can. Extreme bond is still an acrylic a no no on metal.
You mentioned ‘ Safety feature so that they won’t break into your house .’ How can someone break into your house from inside ?’ ( the piba in the hinges are on the inside .)
How about a video for us pior people who dont have any of the cool tools to make it so easy?
Did you go without a front door for all those days?
No I would put it back on at the end of each day. It only took a couple days. Thanks for watching
unless you got it later you missed a dent in the bottom right panel
man that rust making you have to sand all over again...that sucks. sanding is not fun lol
Yes it wasn't fun sanding it twice. Thanks for watching.
Good Job. Btw you could do a Joe Biden voice over if you just stutter some and said "come on man" when the rust came through. 😂
LOL thanks for watching.
mask ?
Time is money. All this work is not worth it for something purely cosmetic.
