How To Refinish Gold Fireplace Doors

A fireplace is a focal point of any room, and the doors are no exception. If your fireplace doors are looking a little worse for wear, you may be wondering how to refinish them. Here is a step-by-step guide to help you get the job done.

Materials You Will Need:

Fine-grit sandpaper
Tack cloth
Primer
Gold spray paint
Clear spray paint

Step 1: Remove the Doors

The first step is to remove the doors from the fireplace. This is usually done by unscrewing the hinges. Once the doors are removed, you can take them outside or to a well-ventilated area to work on them.

Step 2: Sand the Doors

Once the doors are removed, you need to sand them down to remove any old paint or finish. Start with a fine-grit sandpaper and work your way up to a medium-grit sandpaper. Be sure to sand in the direction of the grain.

Step 3: Clean the Doors

Once the doors are sanded, you need to clean them to remove any dust or debris. Use a tack cloth to wipe down the doors.

Step 4: Prime the Doors

The next step is to prime the doors. Primer helps to create a smooth surface for the paint to adhere to. Apply a thin coat of primer to the doors and allow it to dry completely.

Step 5: Paint the Doors

Once the primer is dry, you can start painting the doors. Use a gold spray paint and apply thin, even coats. Allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next.

Step 6: Clear Coat the Doors

Once the paint is dry, you can apply a clear coat to protect the finish. This will help to keep the paint from chipping or peeling. Apply a thin coat of clear spray paint to the doors and allow it to dry completely.
