Painting a door frame

[Need Help21]

Fellow DIYers,

Soon I am going to paint a kitchen door frame and would appreciate some guidance for a really professional finish. The frame has been sanded down to bare wood. Some guidance on the following would be greatly appreciated:-


1. Brush size.
2. The best quality gloss white oil paint to use.
3. Some helpful techniques (where to start and brush stroke direction etc) to guarantee a decent end result.
4. Approximate time it should take per coat.

Many Thanks

You shouldn't have sanded it down to bare wood.

Dont forget to use knotting on the knots if its been taken back to bare wood first before any paint goes on.
