What can I do about paint chipping on the front door?
+4
I have a red front door that the paint has chipped off badly. I am looking for an easy fix that will look okay, since I am not good with tools. Thanks

Depending on how bad it is chipped, you could try sanding it. Is the paint is peeling you may not have prepped the door correctly when it was originally painted. Be sure you start with a smooth surface and prime and then repaint the door.

MN Mom, thank you for your response. I've lived in the home for five years and the door was already painted. What method of sanding, do you suggest? I've never done this before. Thanks,.Marcy

I was thinking it you could sand it, only takes a bit of muscle. Take a bit of the color to your local paint store for a paint match, if you want the same color.

It would make it easier if the peeling is really bad, but you could do it by hand, just takes a little longer.
