The paint used in the video is called Sherwin Williams Qualikote Semi Gloss. It is the best semi gloss for interior trim, doors, etc... hands down. Most other products dry too fast- leaving almost any painter with a streaky mess. Yuck!
The roller used is a Sherwin Williams 4inch Contractor Series Blue Knit. I Use them all the time!

You can get a brushed effect by rollering first and then brushing it out just after. Best of both worlds!

Been painting for 23 years now and I’ve been painting doors with a wizzy for long time. I like to use the 4 inch micro fiber covers because they don’t leave little naps. Just here and there just pick them off. I do all residential painting. My customers are always happy when I’m done. Good job.

I'm a union painter , we take a break when the door is half done.😁 A half inch thick nap is too much, 3/8 at the most or even a quarter of an inch will leave a very smooth finish. If you can't spray a door rolling it is much faster than brushing it.

House Painting techniques are so important, amazing, love what your doing. Important to know when maintaining your home.

This guy has good technique for the DIY people and apartment painters. Painting doors like this would never be acceptable to high end customers or quality commercial projects.
-
Painted the shit out of all the house doors with this method and worked more than adequate not to mention very quick. Cheers

Thanks for this awesome video! My wife used one of these small rollers for the inside of our kitchen cupboards and now I’ll do the same for our doors!
-
Thank you ! I just bought a home and this answered many of my questions. I very much appreciate this particular well understood video. !

I roll the paint on too but then I use the brush, just lightly, to smooth out the stipples and create brush strokes. Works and looks great.

I painted 24 doors in 19 minutes for a blind client using this method...he was delighted.

Finally, this is what I was hoping to find. Nice, easy and rolled. I only have foam rollers. Now, I’m going to look for if or how to load the roller. I’m more of a furniture painter so I can use water on my brushes and surfaces. It’s a different paint with a similar technique. Thanks a lot! 💯

Why are people so rude when they comment? What's the point? Life is tough. Don't make it worse for someone else. Scheesh.

Thank you Bobby for showing this video example on painting it will help me go quicker.

i like these home made video's where a loved one is recording, good job from UK

Amen Bubbah.... I was going to spray my front doors and you know what that means. Tape, cover paper, lots of prep and the finish product is only a weeee bit nicer. Moreover, the finish product (sprayed surface vs. stippled) is really only visible a few inches away from the surface for the “really” discerning eye. So..... thanks brother, you sold me on a nice plump roller. Cheers from Canada!

I don't understand all these negative comments. The guy takes time to make a video, just to have idiots make idiotic comments. Thanks for the video, Bobby!

Thanks for taking the time to demonstrate how to methodically paint a door. You make the task appear easier than it is. Would you consider demonstrating how to be just as methodical and efficient in painting an exterior of a craftsman or Victorian house, with the multiple colors of the siding, trim, and accent(s)? Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the great tips, man. Now i have some knowledge before painting my door.

Thank you for the details provided. It helps for those of us who don’t know. I wondered about a roller. Now I understand.
