Effect "under the tree" in industrial conditions
Often, industrial manufacturers use painting of metal doors "under the tree", as this species makes the product more warm and natural, and therefore more attractive for the buyer's eye. This technology is based on a special heat treatment in industrial installations. With it, pre-distributed, special powder came into the metal, creating bizarre drawings, imitating the pattern of wood cut. But all this is unlikely to repeat at home. Therefore, we will stop, yet on painting.
"How much is the door to paint?" - Many will ask. Exactly as much as you spend on the purchase of materials and tools + a few hours of your precious time.
You can paint as entrance doors and interroom doors. True, you need to consider what material they are made. From this, mostly depends on the answer to the most difficult question: "What paint paint the doors?"
What do the doors come?
- Wooden.
- Plastic.
- Glass.
- Metal.
Paint a wooden door is simpler simple. Moreover, the effect of "under the tree" here does not need to be imitate. The original texture is often enough to simply emphasize with tinting agents or varnishes (alcohol, oil or nitrocellulose). After such treatment, you can use polishing paste. If the surface is damaged and the painting is needed, select the color of oil paint or the auto-elevate of a natural wood shade.
Consider the standard process of painting any door. Here the alternateness of operations is important and their essence itself. About nuances - below.
Standard process painting with your own hands
Required materials and tools
- putty knife;
- brush;
- agent for removing old paint;
- putty;
- dye.
Preparation and the process of painting
- Inspect the door for possible faults.
- Eliminate problems, if any were detected.
- Remove with a spatula swallowed and cracked layer of old paint. For such a goal, you can use special chemical products (caustic sodium or carbolic acid) if the paint is removed unevenly. What tool is better to choose, consult with the seller of the construction supermarket.
- Pretty wash the door.
- Give her to dry completely.
- With the help of a spatula and putty, close all existing cracks and chips.
- Give dry.
- Remove all parts of the fittings. If it is impossible, then close them with a protective film.
- Remove the door from the loops.
- Place it on the horizontal surface. So you will be able to avoid the outers and achieve uniform staining.
- Paint one side door.
- Let's dry well.
- Turn the door and do the same with the other side.
- After drying, complete the process, in progressing the sidewalls.
Now about what to do if the door is metallic or plastic, or the wooden door has lost the texture pattern. In this case, the coarse uneven fibers and the loss of wood can be imitate, painting the door in a special way.
Imitation of wood texture by staining
What do you need?
- paint two tones of brown color. One lighter (sandy, yellow, bodily, etc.), the other is dark;
- toning composition or varnish;
- special rubber grater with a non-uniform surface with bulbs and depressions (look for construction stores);
- sandpaper;
- paint brush.
How to paint?
- Cover one part of the door surface with lighter paint.
- Give her to dry completely.
- Collect a slightly painted surface for better clutch.
- Apply a dark brown dye.
- Without waiting for the drying of the upper layer, smoothly "exacerbate" the door with a rubber grater. Thus, the grave layer of dark paint in some places and the bottom light layer is illuminated, we obtain the surface visually reminiscent of a tree cut.
- Open the tinting composition or varnish.
- Give to dry completely.
- Repeat all operations with the second side of the door, then with sidewalls.
Nuance!
- Selecting certain color combinations of dyes, you can imitate even different wood species. So, if you need to portray the elevated oak boards, prefer beige and light gray shades. Natural crude oak - light brown + chocolate. Want to boast wood wenge - choose black and red-brown. And, actually, you can experiment. Main, pick up natural and well-combined colors.
- If you decide to the experiment, it is better to do a trial drawing on a plywood sheet. So you will clearly see what you get as a result of your efforts and do not spoil the door.
- The surface painted under the tree can also be aged (and get the "old" door). To do this, you will need a crocheral lacquer, which after drying is covered by a web cracked. Now the almost wooden door will become almost rare.
Having done these simple operations, you will get an excellent, almost new and almost wooden door. Visually (that's for sure!) The old door will not give up with new fashionable counterparts. And the money for the purchase of a new door and on painting the old one is needed different. So consider yourself!
