Subbing for The Faux Pro Inc. (Bernadette Forese) in Kennett Square, PA. , we grained a metal door and storm door to

match an existing wood door, that had seen better days, for a log home. We changed the process a bit by graining first

to the color the "real" wood was in. We then toned it to the color of the old door using tinted Poly. (All in water base products)
