Painting tips from our experts
- Paint the panels in even strokes in the same direction as the grain.
- For flat kitchen doors, we recommend a roller with a cover made of short-pile wool for a beautiful result.
- For structured surfaces, choose a slightly longer pile to ensure an even and thorough application of paint.
- Make sure to make all brush strokes in the same direction at the end and to always keep the edges moist.
- Never paint over paint that has already dried, as this will result in unsightly transitions.
