Suitable Paint needed for a Composite Front Door.?

Post by pug205 »

Hello all you chaps? Our 8 year old front door (Composite) is in need of re-painting. Hours of Sunshine during Summer months has taken a toll on it's appearance? It was a Greenwood Green but now it's slowly losing it's colour. A chap in a Brewers Shop recommended Albany, a Waterbase paint, no primer required. Any advices given on this will be very welcome. Thank you?

I like Johnstones paint. I used their exterior undercoat and gloss on my garage doors. It has lasted very well. Have a look https://www.johnstonespaint.com/advice/ ... ight-paint ( put exterior in the search box) it is a solvent-based paint so it is far more durable. They mix any color up. It makes up for the longer drying time. Wait for warmer weather.
