When we have to paint a door or window sheet, we must take into account some things so the paint is firm for a long time and not have to suffer in the future seeing as puffed and peels. Most important is the preparation of the surface to be painted, although we take more time than we like, is the basis of the work we must do, and as any foundation, has to be good.

To start clean with a damp cloth with soap and water or bleach and water if the paint surface was covered entirely or partly and stain fungi. If fat, we can use turpentine. Allow to dry until it is suitable for sanding.

If the paint surface is badly damaged, passing a wire brush to remove loose parts. After sanding with fine sandpaper, leaving the smooth surface. In the case of putting dents in thin putty and then sanding.

Before painting, pass a brush to remove dust from the previous sanding. Never paint with hot plate, if given the strong sun, wait until cool, then yes, start painting. The parts that have rust, paint them with converter, let dry, then paint them with enamel.

Today converters have several colors, so that we can buy we want to choose the color and paint directly with converter. The disadvantage is that the converter is more expensive than the common nail.

You can use a brush or a foam roller (which for the flat is best, because they are not going to notice the strokes that would notice if we used a brush). The dilution of the painting depends on each brand, we will see if the paint is too thick because it runs the brush or roller.

Hands to give the surfaces depends on the coverage power of each mark, but never less than two hands.

Following these tips will get a good finish.
