Curb Appeal my Door

All of our trim is brown, and the door. 

After taking down the screen, but before painting. Forgot a true before picture.

I'm not a fan. I've hinted that we are doing some full on curb appeal around here, but these things take time.

I did tackle the door situation already. We have a screen door as well. Someday I would love to replace both doors, but it's not in the budget right now.

I went with black. We took the screen off and I spray painted it.

First with Krylon Gloss and then because I ran out and the store I choose did not carry Krylon, I finished with Rustoleum Gloss Black. (I don't like going to multiple stores. I'm not a "shopper." And I never remember who carries what.)

For the door, it is also gloss black. I used Rustoleum's Painter's Touch Gloss Black quart.

It's is near the spray paint at Home Depot. The paint guy told me it is better for pure black than anything he can mix. It is really good.

Here's before:

And After:

And here it is from the outside.

Massively reflective this morning!

All I can say is paint never ceases to amaze me! I know it makes a difference, but I went from loathing my doors to feeling good about it.
