Good deal, looks great!


the MDF used for the frame comes in white so we only used brown paint on it.

Have a look at my doors:

The first shot is a real stained wooden door, the other is a white MDF door (the wooden version was too expansive for my taste). I painted it and used the same stain that I used on my wooden doors.

Is you frame in wood or MDF? the trick with MDF (or any non-wood product) is to change the color of the primer. Instead of using a white primer, you use a beige primer (buy a white primer and have them colorize it at the store). Apply the primer and then use any wood staining product (with a cloth, not a brush).
