I haven’t heard anyone do it yet! I would be interested in doing it with Rub N Buff though!

So has anyone tried to paint the gold window trim? I’m currently trying to replace the abundance of gold/bronze in my home and I’ve been eyeballing my front door!

My hubby just brought home a paint sample of Front Door Red! We’re going for it! And would you believe we’ve got the same gold trim window pane thing going on? Not a fan, but oh well!!

I say there aren’t enough red doors in the world! Go for it! Anything is better than hideous yellowish tan

So funny…I just happened to stumble upon your site because I googled about painting if painting my back exterior doors the same red as my front door would be dumb or not. Because yesterday I just so happened painted my front door ‘front door red’ as well! I love the color so much I thought it would be a great pop of color on the back as well because currently we have French doors that are a hideous yellowish tan color. What do you think?

Fiberglass doors seem like a new thing, but they’ve actually been around for a while. Therma-Tru, a pioneer in the fiberglass door business, started manufacturing fiberglass doors in 1983. therma tru doors offer the strength of steel and the warmth of wood without the drawbacks of either. Wood warps, splits and cracks. Steel dents and rusts. Fiberglass doesn’t have any of these limitations.

I was nervous about painting my front door black but it looks soooo good! Mine was pink first, though – here’s the link to my old post on my old blog: http://thepurplepeach.wordpress.com/2010/05/12/door-debacle/
And this is me realizing I never posted an after…whoops. Maybe I should do that sometime. :p

If you guys take those doors apart to darken the gold—PLEASE post that project—I HATE the gold in the panel of our front door and right now it is cost prohibitive to get a new front door (2 teachers—one about to get a 10% pay cut due to education cuts)…but hey–aren’t we ALL trying to save mula on projects by DIY-int??? Thus, why I read your blog—and the YHL…
: ) THANKS!!!

I love my old wide front door. I considered painting it red but it is actually surrounded by a sun porch that has black and white tiles so I went for boring black for the door. But am inspired now! The only exterior thing I have going on right now is fixing some dry rot…sad…
