Home Owner's DIY (General painting) Forum / House numbers press fit in hardboard siding: How to remove?
« Last post by rfsmith48 on April 14, 2022, 07:11:14 PM »
Title says it all.
House was last painted in 2012.
I installed press fit house numbers after painting.
Is there a way to remove the numbers with minimal damage to the siding?
I will ask the new contractor how they handle this, but I am guessing the numbers need to come off.
The house will be spray painted.
Thx,
Rog

Home Owner's DIY (General painting) Forum / Refinish on a vinyl covered cabinet side
« Last post by rfsmith48 on December 25, 2020, 02:48:56 PM »
Hello!
I am refinishing a Pantry cabinet that has Oak on the front face. (Front face is in good condition)
The sides are particle board  covered with thin oak grained vinyl. Sides are not terrible, but not very good either.

I am considering  prepping the vinyl for paint.
Is this a practical solution? How do I get good paint bonding to the vinyl?
All help is appreciated.
Thx
Rog

No comments?  Oh well. 

I took off the door, laid it flat, and painted it yesterday. It seemed to go well.  I don't know if having the door vertical would have been easier, but my fear was that I would have more chance of runs.  With the door horizontal, perhaps any thick paint blobs will level out smoother.

Hi,
My new shed has vinyl siding but a primed, fiberglas door. I was advised to paint the door, so I bought a quart of Clark & Kensington Premium Hi-Gloss Enamel Acrylic Latex, tinted white.  I'm not a painter, but hope to do this job well.
Will it work better to remove the door and lie it flat while painting or paint while the door is vertical, in place?
Will I get good results using a good brush, or is it better to use a roller for this one door? 
I'm definitely planning to paint the exterior surface.  Is there a good reason to paint the inside as well?
Any other tips are more than welcome.
Thank you.
Bob
