Re: Painting 6 panel doors
I painted mine with 2 coats each and used a sponge roller. They came out very nice.

I would think it needs at least 2 coats (maybe more)...

Definitely 2 coats. I used a brush around the inside of the panels and then a small sponge roller to do the rest and it came out great.

Re: Painting 6 panel doors
yup - after 2 coats the door didnt look great - it kept soaking up the paint

Yes, because it's new wood and it soaks up the paint.
Same things happens with new sheetrock, even if you prime it often takes three coats.
Always remember to paint in the direction of the wood grain.
