my red door

I was trying to wait until we got the entry lockset installed to post the results of my aged door project but it's going to take a couples of weeks so...
introducing my red door...

It was easy-peasy. Here's what I did...

*First coat - tinted primer (something resembling raw wood).
*Next, take a regular, white candle and rub where you want the top coat to chunk off.
*Apply top color (as many coats needed - in my case 3).
*Use fine steel wool pad and rub any waxed areas (those areas come off chunky).
*Use fine steel wool pad and rub other areas (those areas look more weathered/distressed).
*Mix dark brown acrylic paint with water (1 tablespoon paint to 1/2 cup water) then apply to door. Let dry a bit then wipe off excess with a dry rag (dry rag - smears/ wet rag - removes more). I did this in sections and helps it look "dirty".
*Finally, apply clear sealing coat(s) and voila - aged door!

This is a fiberglass door and to the untrained eye looks like old barn wood....
ok, maybe not exactly but it's close enough!!
