To prep the door:
Clean and scuff sand* both sides of the door.

For a flat door, use a roller for the main part of the door and an angled brush for sides. Do not paint the door in direct sun.

Paneled Doors
If your door is more decorative and includes paneled detailing, there are a few extra steps you need to take:
Use an angled brush first to paint inside the recessed areas
Use roller for flat surfaces, first down center, then across door finishing with down the sides to smooth it all out
Use an angled brush to finish outer edges of door
Let dry per package instructions. Allow the door to be left open/off the hinges to dry for as long as possible. Though it may be dry to the touch, with a semi-gloss or gloss paint, you will most likely experience blocking if re-hung prematurely.
