FAQs

Everything you nee to know about our Front Door Paint

What colour should I paint my front door?

Choosing a colour for your front door is a truly personal journey - it’s about creating a welcome that is uniquely yours. While we encourage you to follow your heart, we find that many of our clients in the UK are drawn to a more subtle, timeless elegance. Gentle greens and soft, warm beiges are wonderfully popular choices, creating an inviting and harmonious feel. To help you discover a colour that perfectly complements your home, our team is always on hand to offer a free, no-obligation colour consultation.
What makes Knuckles Paints so special?

We pride ourselves on creating a paint that is as kind to your home as it is to the environment. Our water-based, vegan-friendly formula is completely free from harmful toxins like VOCs, heavy metals, and microplastics. This commitment to quality and safety gives our paint three key strengths:

  • Opacity: Thanks to a high titanium dioxide content, our paint provides superb coverage, meaning a little truly does go a long way.
  • Durability: The addition of high-quality acrylic ensures your door can be easily wiped clean without compromising its beautiful finish.
  • Low Odour: Our minimal VOC content means our paint has an exceptionally low odour, contributing to a healthier home and a cleaner atmosphere.
Can you paint a front door in the winter?

For the best possible results, we recommend painting on a day that is dry and mild. As our paint is water-based, it performs best when temperatures are above 10°C (50°F) to ensure it can cure correctly, allowing its superb durability to fully develop. A little patience for a fine day will be well worth it.
Can you paint a front door without taking it down?

The secret to a pristine finish is a steady hand and a thoughtful approach. Once your door is perfectly prepped, begin by applying your paint in a smooth, continuous motion, following the natural grain of the wood. Our paint’s high concentration of titanium dioxide ensures an outstanding opacity, often providing complete, transformative coverage in as little as one coat.

Can I simply paint over my front door?

While our paint offers exceptional coverage and a luxurious depth of colour, we strongly recommend against painting over an unprepared surface. Old dirt, grease, and flaking paint will compromise the durability and finish of your new coat. Think of it as preparing a canvas for a work of art - the effort you put into preparation will ensure your front door remains a masterpiece for years to come.
How do I prepare my front door for painting?

A truly beautiful finish begins with careful preparation. We always advise starting with a thorough clean to remove any dust, grime, or old paint flakes. Gently sanding the surface will create the perfect 'key' for the paint to adhere to, ensuring a long-lasting and flawless result. Taking the time to fill any small imperfections now will make all the difference to the final finish.
