Transforming Old Doors with 150 Grit Sandpaper

Introduction

Old doors can give your home a vintage look, but they often come with scratches, peeling paint, or rough surfaces. With 150-grit sandpaper, you can easily refinish these doors to bring back their charm. This guide provides step-by-step instructions to restore your doors to their former glory.

Why Use 150 Grit Sandpaper?

• Removes Imperfections: Effectively smooths out scratches and rough textures.
• Prepares for Painting: Creates the perfect surface for paint or stain adhesion.

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Remove Hardware

Take off the doorknob, hinges, and any other hardware to make sanding easier.

Step 2: Sand the Surface
