Front Door Paint

1966 · 2011-03-05 16:10:31

Hi there we recently painted our front door Black gloss but every finger print / mark shows up and we have to give it a wipe every day. it depends obviously, on what way the light catches it but its a real pain. my Q is : is there a better or particular paint to use for front doors or anyone else in the same boat ???

Yeah you shouldn't have to clean it every day. Not a massive fan of Crown paints myself. But it is an unusal one, can't think of a reason why it would show up so bad.

You could try Colortrend exterior satin,would not be as shiny a finish,so wouldnt show up finger prints as much!
