By simply applying a coat of paint to your walls, you can give your home a whole new look as well as add value to it, which is probably your most valid investment. When you paint the walls the closet doors and wall frames should not be overlooked, otherwise you will end up with a half finished look. The door frames and closets take a lot of extra time and can be challenging but are well worth it.
In order to paint the closet doors you will require a low grit sand paper, tape, a paint sponge, medium sized paint brush, primer and a semi gloss or satin paint. The first thing you need to do is take the doors off the hinges and lay them flat on a table. Remove any stickers and nails off the surface. Then remove the door pull or handles from the door.

If there is any damage or holes on the surface, fill these with poly filler. Then sand the door down on both sides to create a uniform surface before painting the doors. Once the sanding is complete wipe the doors down to remove any excess dust. Then apply a coat of primer and wait for that to dry.
Then paint front and the back of the closet doors first and when that is dry paint the sides. You can use different colors, or you could buffer and apply another color by using a porous sponge. When the closet doors are completely dry then apply a darker shade of paint to the inside panels.
Remember to always paint along the wood grain and not against the grain, which is usually from the bottom to the top. Also remove any excess paint with a clean wet cloth around the edges. When the closet doors are dry you can hang them back.
