  • don't paint it [yellow] , remove all previous coatings (machine sand) apply a stain - you'll find it more sympathetic to the timber and the opacity can be built to appear like paint . Sadolin classic (first coat) and sadolin extra durable for two three more, the 'oil' stuff. Loads of other brands available

  • For red, blue or green I'm with you, but I suspect transparent yellow stain will look like very shit wood.

  • hmm, , sure the door could be painted, think I'd be confident of not being transparent - it's not a wax off stain

  • Ok, I'll take that back, it might need a bottle of colourant added to either the closest match or an untinted tin to get a vibrant yellow, and check with the supplier that it'll mix in
