NINE-PANEL METAL DOOR/SIDE PANELS


A nine-panel metal

door woodgrained. 

The wood door casing woodgrained to match.   
  • We primed the entired wood door casing with four different colors for the background.  
  • When dried, it was lightly sanded.  
  • With colored varnish, high light colors were painted on.  Colors also  were hand grained on top of the varnish.
  • The colors were lightly sanded with a sponge sander so the color would not be sanded off, but leave bonding  finish for the woodgraining.
  •  The door was then woodgrained by hand.
  • The door and casing were  again lightly sanded casing without taking any color out.  
  • Then the first finish coat was applied to add detailed colors where necessary.
  • A second and final finished coat of specialty sealant was used on the door and casing as a protectant.
This is a closeup view of a woodgrained exterior metal nine-panel door.

A closeup view of this metal door shows the beauty
an artistry of the woodgraining.
