Looking at painting my front door as I have noticed the paint flaking off at the bottom and want to get it sorted, however I am unsure how to approach it and was hoping for a bit of help.
I think the front door is original to the house (about 18 years old). It has a blue top coat. However under the blue there appears to be green paint and under this it is solid white.
Unsure as to the door material so not idea where to start. Thought it was plastic due to the solid white base.
I have attached some pictures to see if people can help. Once I know where I stand with the door I can find out how to go about prep/painting it.
I would ideally like it to change the colour to a black or grey colour however would keep it dark blue if easier as reading through the forum it appears black is a hard colour to paint well, especially for somebody like me with no previous diy (first house)
Sorry for the big pictures, no idea how to make them smaller
Thanks.
