DIY Faux Wood Metal Door

I started by cleaning the door with a 1:1 mixture of alcohol and water.

Normal household cleaners will leave a residue that you don’t want.

After the door was clean I lighting sanded it with 120 grit sandpaper & taped off the glass.

After I scuffed up the door with the sandpaper I applied a layer of exterior primer.

Any primer will work but this is the one I used.

After the primer dried I applied a layer of stain to the entire door.

I went with a black stain but you can choose whatever color stain you want for your door.

After the entire door had a light layer of stain I went back over it with primer.

While the primer was still wet I dragged the graining tool through it.

Only apply the primer in small sections because you don’t want it drying before you grain it.

Let the grain layer dry completely before going back over it with the stain.

You can apply as many coats of stain necessary, the more coats = darker the color will be.

Once you are happy with the color, apply a layer of topcoat if you are wanting a certain finish or just extra protection.
