One more item from my 2016 Projects list has been completed! I painted our new front door black. When I was at Home Depot earlier this week I picked up a quart of black semi-gloss exterior paint:
It’s thick like chocolate pudding, and dark purple, but it goes on smoothly and dries to a shiny black. This is my first experience with exterior paint and it was a good one. After one coat:
After two coats:
And finally, after three coats:
Hooray! Now it’s black like our old front door. Much better than white. Although now I’m noticing the grey replacement clapboards near the bottom of the door… Might have to touch those up with some exterior white paint.

Did you see a red door and want to paint it black? It looks great.
I don’t know what that means lol!!! And thanks 🙂
Sorry. It’s a reference to a Stones’ song (Rolling Stones). Douglas sings it to me whenever he sees our red door or if I happen to mention it.
Ha Ha! Yeah, my Mom clued me in 🙂
Haha–good one, Jessica!! 🙂
The door looks super-smooth and beautiful!
Thanks, D’Arcy! Thanks to the Google I think I figured out the reference…
Perfect!
Thanks!
Nice job, it looks terrific. Three coats is the secret…
Yep!
