You got this!! A little painter's tape goes a long way...
Thank you for the info. Will check this paint out. I plan on painting it before we hang it. I can't leave the doors open because of the four dogs, one hybrid cat, and the fact that it is too chilly right now to have it open. We also have two birds that would be susceptible to the paint fumes. One is only ten feet away rom that door, the other is straight down the stairs opposite the door.
I put newspaper on the windows and screens and painters tape all the way around, they are still waiting for the paint. Door is pretty much done. We used Rustoleum. Have had to take breaks because of weather too cool or high humidity slowing drying time. We are getting there. Can't wait for it to finally be done and I will have a window to shut over the screen to keep rain from going through the screen and hitting door.
