Wood Grained Steel Doors

Wood-Grained Steel Finishing Tips

Material is factory primed with beige primer. To obtain the wood look, the door must be stained in a two color process by a professional painter.

1. Apply a dark stain first to go into the “grain.” This is wiped off the flat part of the steel.
2. Let stain dry following the stain manufacturer’s directions. This way the lighter stain will not “dilute” or dissolve the darker stain.
3. Apply the lighter stain after the darker stain is dried.
4. Finish with a protective coating compatible with the stain.

Recommended Stains:

• Oil base stain such as Olympic or Zar brands
• Some stains indicate good for metals
