Considering Glidden's New Front Door and Trim Paint...

We've had some lovely weather lately here, in the Midwest. It's starting to cool just a bit and we're starting to get that gorgeous slanted fall light. Unfortunately, after the lovely fall comes the very barren winter and, suddenly the peeling paint on the house or the knocked up front door seems much more obvious. With that in mind, I am setting out to repaint our front door. Right now, my door is painted in Benjamin Moore's Dark Purple in a Soft Gloss finish.



I still like the color, but was tempted by Glidden's new line of Front Door and Trim Paints.


These look amazing. I love the idea of a no drip paint! Alas, it only comes in a limited number of colors. A call to my local Home Depot revealed that Glidden does plan on expanding to custom colors soon, though. In the meantime, I'll go back to Benjamin. I'm going to try the High Gloss this time, clean up the brass a bit and add a kickplate at the bottom. I'll give you a look when I'm done!
What are you doing to prepare for winter?
Have a great day!

  1. I just used the Glidden door paint for three doors in Bright White. LOVE IT! Amazing stuff and it can even be used on cabinets. Goes on like a dream.
