Can Naytoh Wood Doors Be Painted White Colour?

[beagle 0]

Can someone help pls? Wife wants it white in colour but checked with few paint shops all say naytoh wood cannot absorb colour paint, even my ID says so.

Need to take note.. that hand brush painting will not give that flat smooth painting achieved by spray painting. Need to manage expectations.

Are you painting yourself or getting the id to paint for you?

Thanks for the replies.

Hi sinner,

I came across a vanish removal at one DIY shop. So if I use this, the naytoh door will become "brand new and unvanished". I then do a base coat with sealer, apply gloss enamel paint over. Will this work?

Regards.

Hi yoongf,

The first step would still be to remove vanish and make it to brand new. Which spray painting would do the job?

I am getting ID to paint for me the whole house but ID say cannot be done because Naytoh door cannot absorb coloured paint. But when I ask the tilers, some say cannot and some say can be done. Probably I will do it myself.

Regards.

The other day just saw my neighbour painting their main door to white from wooden colour. So it can be done but think it takes them one whole day to paint it.

Thanks Beck for replying. It is possible to paint- $50 bucks per door- same price as re-vanish.

hi beagle,

does the $50 include painting of the frame also?

Your ID is prob lazy or don't wanna go tru the hassle.

Nyatoh wood can be painted.

If the wood is new and unpainted, sealer aka undercoat must be used.

If the wood already comes with varnish or painted, then gotta sand down the door before painting it.

I've done up many nyatoh doors using paint. No problem.

No peeling or paint cannot absorb. It boils down on how you paint it.

You have to use undercoat for a brand new unpainted wood.

We also don't like the original colour of the naytoh wood door which is a bit reddish brown. So we asked our ID to paint it to white colour. No problem at all.
