When Amy and Gene visited New Orleans, they discovered stunning brass hardware at The Bank. Amy immediately envisioned using it to enhance the doors in her home with a high-gloss black lacquer finish. Her master bathroom features a new-build monochromatic color scheme, and by painting the doors black, adding a chinoiserie mural, and incorporating an antique chandelier, she aims to create a custom European aesthetic. Gene will guide you through the process of painting your doors using Amy Howard At Home's LuxeLacquer. While there are various methods to achieve a professional finish, including removing the doors and spraying them, Gene demonstrates an effective technique by leaving the door on its hinges and applying LuxeLacquer with a roller. This approach not only elevates the elegance of your interiors but also ensures a sleek, sophisticated look.
Start by brushing on your first coat of LuxeLacquer on the trim of the panel. Ensure you apply a thin coat, avoiding heavy application. This process will require two to three coats, not just one.
Step 2: Rolling
Use a 4-inch microfiber roller to apply the paint to the center panel of the door. Then, use a smaller roller to paint the outer parts of the door.
