The Orange Door

Our church's door to the student lounge was looking a tad sun bleached so someone suggested we repaint it.  Since I'm the University Council chair, and had a free afternoon , I decided to try my hand at it.  I learned how to use an angle grinder!  It was pretty fun!!  Sadly, I don't have photo proof of me using it like the jackhammer last year.  Dad, if you are reading this, I was wearing eye protection! Those paint chips fly off like crazy!

 Had to grind down some other uneven areas and then started to add blue painter's tape:
Primer + first coat outside view:
 Inside view of 1st coat:
Ta-da!!! Inside completed:
 Outside completed:
Next up will be to figure out how we want to re-letter the door.
