During this two week visit, we caught up with friends, pruned the wisteria and painted our external doors to match the new shutters. We had contacted Giovanni Tambellini for advice about painting the doors and he kindly ordered what we needed from his paint supplier.
Slightly surprisingly, the undercoat was an oil based gloss and the top coat was water based. We struggled with the wood filler he bought us so the garage and stable doors just got sanded and painted.
Everything got one or two coats of the undercoat. In the garage, we removed the broken window and painted the shabby shutter and window bars to match the stable.
Then all the doors got two topcoats of the of the water based paint. We’re very happy with the results.
