  • Looks great and easy to apply.
Style: Gloss Size: 0.25 Quart Color: Antique Walnut
I recently redid my front door and this color looks great. It is very easy to use. I have done 2 coats already but am going to need to do another coat as some parts of the door are more thirsty. Dries nicely and pretty quickly also.
