Well you need to sand that right back to smooth.
Get like a 200mm wide taping knife or scraper
Apply a finishing coat (top coat) enough so there’s no visible inclusions (little divots like you see in photos). Don’t be afraid if its much bigger than the hole cause it’s easier to sand.
Sand that back and really feather it out so when you run your hand across ot you can’t tell where the repair stops and the door starts.
Now you have to paint the entire front of door because it will never match anyway. Use a foam roller and probably a semi gloss or satin paint(I can’t really tell from photos but paint guy at Bunnings will know)
or just wear the cost from the rental agency? Door repairs line this are easy to spot in an inspection so it’s gotta be good.👍
mmm can do this one again.
can i go to the bunnings dude and ask him to give me a colour that matches (and how do i get him to give me an exact match)? i don't think painting the entire door is an option..
You will need a sample piece size as big as a 20cent piece minimum for the colour spectrometer for a paint match
Or ask the property manager (?) what the colour code is
Yup, just texted him to check, might even drop by tomorrow and chat in person
ahh no wonder bunnings guy wasn't able to match. i might have taken a 2 mm piece with me LOL
