Aluminum closet doors can be painted to match the rooms decor.
Closet doors can be manufactured from a variety of materials, including aluminum. Aluminum closet doors are available in a variety of styles, including as pocket, sliding and folding doors. You can paint your aluminum closet doors any color that you desire. Painting aluminum surfaces requires a little more effort than just slopping paint on a wooden closet door. The aluminum is usually glossy or too smooth, which can cause paint to chip or fail to dry smoothly. Does this Spark an idea?
