| My husband painted the door that goes from our kitchen into the garage(just the garage side). The paint didn't adhere properly. So he put on another coat. Same thing - it looks terrible. What went wrong and what can we do to remedy this? Wish I could post a picture for you. It looks and feels rough in large areas. |

| Need WAY more info, what type paint, prep done, etc, etc etc. |

| Our house is 9 yrs old. We're cleaning the garage and having the floor epoxied by a professional. Decided the door needed to be freshened up. No prep, just got out a can of semi gloss and painted. After looking at it, I'm thinking the interior doors were not done in semi gloss, but eggshell anyway. I'm thinking we need to do it all over - lightly sand, prime the whole door and then do an eggshell paint. Does that sound reasonable? My husband won't be happy though. |

| Well....<<< ahem >>>.... Your DH might not wanna hear this, but: Unfortunately, now you'll have to remove the "Ugly" paintjob and do the steps above. >>> Stick with the S/G though!!! Technique is important too! Faron |

| Ok, you convinced me...we'll do semi gloss. When you say "remove the ugly paint" what exactly do you mean? Just sand it...or what? |

| Hi again! Yeah...sorry! You MAY be able to literally pull it off. Faron |
|
| Thanks for your help! |
|
| No prob! Just get down to that original paint layer and dull IT. Then prime, etc. (off to work now @ the paint/hdwr. store! 12-9pm today....) Faron |
