??? Aren't there instructions on the label? A simple internet search, that you could have done yourself, yielded this.

Prime first.

Fill nail holes.

Sand

Caulk

Apply 2 coats of semi gloss finish.

For both priming and finishing, fill a 1 gallon bucket 1/3-1/2 full of product. Dip brush in product and apply. Brush strokes should go with the grain of the wood.

Are you really going to paint the wood frames of your house windows and doors with automobile enamel paint? Is there some information you have not shared that makes this a good idea?

Well, Yusek, thanks for that. Now I know Duco is not just car paint.

Yum!

That is what I get for being a smarty-pants!
