Giani Wood Look Paint Kit for Front & Interior Doors (English Oak)

Worked fabulous on our front door! Directions were easy to follow. Enough product and all supplies were provided. I have got compliments on our front door since doing it. This is one year later holding up well and it still looks great!! It dried quick and I was able to do it all in one afternoon.

I’m honestly impressed with how this turned out. It gave my door a total refresh and actually looks like real wood, not paint. The process was pretty straightforward and worth the time. Makes such a difference from the curb.

This kit came with everything needed - paint brush, roller, gloves, plastic wrap, stir sticks, mitt applicator, paint and stain. I watched the video on their page of how to apply and decided after watching that I would not be using the mitt. It looked awful from there so I used a chip brush instead. I was able to create more of a wood grain with. I used English oak and the color was beautiful - coverage was great. Drying time seemed pretty quick. I’m not sure how anyone wouldn’t have enough of their product to cover both sides of the door because I did without any problems. I’ll be buying more to do the interior doors of my house.

I used this on the interior side of my front door and love the results! The kit was easy to use, the instructions were clear, and the wood-look finish turned out incredibly realistic. The only downside was the paint mitt—it felt too large and messy. I’d use a sponge next time for better control. Overall, a fantastic product, and I can’t wait to use it on my other interior doors.

This stuff was super easy to do. The paint was think so I didn’t have to do a second coat . The instructions were easy to follow and my door had a major glow up. Love love

I’ll be honest—I was a little skeptical at first when I started using this front door paint kit. The process felt a bit different than regular painting, and at the beginning I wasn’t sure it was going to turn out the way I expected. But I decided to trust the process and keep going step by step, and I’m really glad I did. As it started to dry and everything came together, the finish began to look more and more like real wood. The final result honestly surprised me—in a good way. Now my front door has a completely different look. It went from plain and boring to something with character and a nice wood-like finish. If you’re on the fence at the beginning like I was, just stick with it. It’s worth it in the end.

This was such a great turnout for such a simple process and low budget! Highly recommend and already planning more projects! The only downfall is that there was BARELY enough product for my standard front door. I only painted one side of the door and two edges and I was scraping the paint out of the can.

Color: I chose the Honey Oak color for my back door since the entryway flooring was honey oak vinyl. I felt the base color was very light and slightly pinkish. The stain color is OK, but I think the contrast between base and stain (I refer to it as stain, but it is really a type of glaze that creates the wood grain look) is too great and a less than perfect application is very noticeable. I wasn't totally pleased with the results, but intrigued enough to try a different color. I chose English Oak this time. The base wasn't that much darker, but it had a warmer tone and the stain was much darker. Door: Essentially, the door I was working with was in pretty sad shape and not worth too much trouble. Layers of paint collected in panels that couldn't be easily sanded had to remain and I couldn't remove the door or knobs in fear that it could not be rehung properly or locks function. Removing the door is not necessary, but definitely remove hardware if possible. Application: I learned alot from my first attempt! 1. Base coat is easy, just straight painting. Directions say to pour half into a tray, but a little goes a long way and I just used it straight out of the can. Less waste/clean-up. 2. Taping for the staining is key. If you have a panel door, you will stain in two directions. Instructions say to tape out horizontal panels, stain/dry and then vertical panels, stain/dry. I felt the inset panels looked messy when the whole panel was done horizontally. I took an extra step to tape out the vertical and horizontal sections of the panel and created the look of a mitred corner(I did this in the window corners also). Even though it's a crappy door, it made a difference. 3. The graining mitt is huge! As a woman I don't have a small hand, but I was swimming in it and it was hard to control. I tucked the thumb to prevent it from creating unwanted strokes in the finish and I only applied stain directly to the end of the mitt (not the whole palm as instructed). The instructions say to dampen the mitt in water and wring out the excess. It was very difficult to wring it enough and the stain got watery and dripped excessively. Learning from this I only lightly damped the one side of the mitt I used. 4. Use quick light strokes. Instructions say 2-3 coats depending on desired effect. I used four. (I might have done 5, but I was low on stain because I had also refinished the beadboard under the back door overhang. Looks great and only used 3 coats) The first couple coats might look a little messy, but as it gets darker with additional coats there is less contrast and it starts to look more natural. It dries fast, but with the extra coat I wanted to be sure the taped corners were dry so I did my vertical and horizontal sections on separate days. All said and done I am fairly pleased with the results, but I also accept it for what it is, FAUX!! I don't feel it would be worthy of my front door, but I am considering the garage door version. The kit is loaded with everything you need. It's too recent to really judge the durability, but seems pretty good so far.
