Hi there, I have a composite front door and I would like to change the colour. How do I go about this please.

Hi Roni, first we would recommend that you clean and lightly sand the door. Then, apply 1 2 3 primer from Zinsser. Once that has dried apply 2 coats of Dulux Weathershield Satin finish in your chosen colour.
