To fix things, I decided to give the door the same paint treatment I did to the handrail of my staircase. (My first post on this blog describes what I did) To begin, I stippled on texture (Weathered Bronze Lusterstone) and then applied a metallic glaze (mixture of two Modern Masters metallic paint colors with a galzing medium. Finally, I topcoated with a satin polyurethane. It was VERY important to do the painting before the grill was applied due to the grill's projection.
