Paint for doors

[dan2002]

Hi, I will be painting my doors. I need to paint 3/4 doors. Its been painted before but not to a good enough standard. Also I need to paint my skirting board in my living room. Its not too big my living, like 4 and a half meters long. Will 2.5L pot be enough to cover this?

Well you dont say what your going to use, so i will say one litre of satinwood will do it, or one litre of undercoat, and one litre of gloss.

2.5 ltrs will easily do it

2.5L will do it very easily, but if still in any doubt = measure and work out the area to be covered, then read the label on the tin. It will give a guide to the likely coverage area, just allow an extra 25% for certainty.

This is the paint I am going to get:

Are they oil based glossed at the moment? If so you may need an undercoat before using that. Also be aware it's not very easy to spread out without leaving brush strokes.
