Wrought iron doors are not only stunning—they’re also built to last. But just like anything exposed to the elements, they need a little upkeep to stay looking their best. One of the most common questions we get is: “How often should I repaint my iron door?” Here’s what you need to know 👇

🔁 Repainting Frequency:

On average, wrought iron doors should be repainted every 4 to 7 years. However, that can vary depending on:

✅ Sun Exposure: Direct sunlight can fade and crack paint faster.
✅ Humidity & Rain: Florida weather? Yep—more moisture means more frequent touch-ups.
✅ Previous Paint Job Quality: A well-prepped, professionally painted door will always last longer.
✅ Rust or Damage: Any signs of rust or bubbling? That’s your cue it’s time.

🚨 Signs It’s Time to Repaint:

• Fading or dull finish
• Peeling or flaking paint
• Rust spots or surface corrosion
• You just want a fresh new look

🎨 Pro Tip:

Repainting is more than just slapping on new paint. It involves sanding, priming, and in some cases, using Bondo to repair imperfections before applying a fresh, protective coat.
