My hollow core doors are stained. I have tried to paint them white using recommended products by the paint store. They just don’t look right. I have sanded primed and painted. The paint is coming off where the door meets the frame when you open and close them. They also don’t look smooth. They have streaks. What am I doing wrong? Help!

I have metal awnings covering my all my windows, front and back doors, I would like to paint them a brighter color. I’m kinda skeptical because my neighbor did his and it looks too tacky, almost like he used interior paint or something. Mine are in good shape they just have a funky old color. I need some curb appeal.

G4B asked:
I have hung and painted three pine doors inside my home. I followed the manufacturers instructions to the full but for some reason over the last year they have warped. I can only assume that they must have had moisture in them before sealing with paint and this has made them swell or twist. I need to know if it’s worth trying to straighten them agian by taking them down, placing them on a flat surface and placing a heavy load on them for some time. Would this work or will they just go back to the shape they have warped to? Help?!!!
