first lay down paint throws to protect any area you don't want red to get on...take you time a small roller less splatter as possible a brush with the wrong bristles may streak.
Use a Foam roller for a smoother finish.
😊
Yes spong roller will not leave a mark it will dry smooth
I used a small sponge roller on mine and it worked great.
You can roll the paint on with a small foam roller to get a smooth finish. If this is a new door you won't have any hardware in your way. You will need at least 2 coats of paint but let it dry well in between coats. If this is an older door you will have to take the doorknob off or paint around it and the other hardware with a small brush.
You can use a paint roller to avoid any brush strokes. Also, if you are able to remove the doors, you can use a paint sprayer. This makes it completely smooth. Good luck!
Hello. Generally I just use the roller for the inside panels on the door— if you were doing a six panel door and brush over. If it has a hollow core or smooth door it might be a more roller application participation.
I have used a foam roller with great results, nice and smooth.
After prepping the door properly, you will want to put ample paint on your roller. I use a brush because I have 6 panel doors but if your door is flat, you can use a roller just like you would on a wall.
the small foam rollers do a great job on doors
Even though we are painting this door with a roller it is a good idea to keep a brush nearby.
You never know where you might need the brush, either to catch a paint run or get into some awkward corner that the roller just won’t reach.
Yoy can definitely use roller in painting your door, but you may need a brush to assist you with painting tiny details or the edges of your door for a better finish.
Hi Abby: If you are going to paint a plain, flat door, use a foam roller to roll on the paint and use an angled brush to paint the sides. You want to make sure you leave no roller lap marks. To remove any lap marks, roll a lightly-loaded roller over the wet coat of paint to smooth.
Hi Abby, you will want to mask (tape) off all the hardware and glass to keep them free of paint, use a brush to get into any crevices or molding. Us a smooth roller and roll paint on in a feathered motion. Hope this help you out,

A brush will give you a more traditional finish, but if you're going to use a roller I would inquire at the paint store about which roller is best.
I would use a small foam roller for the door. Start with a brush in the indented areas and then use the foam brush to finish the flat surfaces.
