Front Door Redo Using Faux Wood Grain Technique
$40
6 Hours
Easy
For less than $40, I was able to transform my red fiberglass front door into a solid wood-looking masterpiece. Check out how you can do it too using this faux wood grain technique.
Here's a closeup of the final result.
I started with this red fiberglass door with white trim.
First I taped off the windows then painted on a coat of orange paint/primer.
I used this wiping stain for the second part of the project.
This handy tool helped create the look of real wood grain.
Here I am in the process of applying the stain and using the wood grain tool to create a realistic wood pattern.
Can you spot the photobomber?
Here's the final result.
What do you think of my new "wood" door?

Have a question about this project?
why two different stain colors? Was one a base color? Or was the orange primer the base color?
What sealer did you use?
