I recently used Benjamin Moore Grand Entrance High Gloss paint to re-paint my front door. The existing front door is 15 years old and looks like complete ***.

It was an embarrasment. I first went to the local Benjamin Moore retailer and asked about the Grand Entrance product line. I was informed that this paint is a little tricky to work with but can give you excellent results. The trick is to use the proper brush which he helped me pick out, then most importantly, do not overwork the paint.

You need to load up your brush but do not over do it either as you dont want drips. Just get it on thick but not dripping and it will smooth itself out when drying. Finally, put a fan on it to dry. This time of paint requires good air circulation to dry.

I followed the advise and I am completely amazed by the results. It looks like I went out and paid a few thousand dollars on a new door.

I was hoping to get something that at least was embarrasing, instead, I now have a door that I am proud to show off. I now find myself taking extra trips to the mail box or to walk the dog just so I can come through my new "Grand Entrance."

Followed all the correct steps painted my door last year. This year I peeled off almost all the paint. What a mess

I purchased this paint for my front door because I wanted a paint that will last and they said that this one was the one to get. I did find that it was tricky to work with.

it is very thin and runs very easily. I quickly learned to apply it very thin and let it do the work. The door required three coats of white even when it was primed before I started painting.

the finish is beautiful though and time will tell if it will hold up the way I need it to. We will see.
