Help painting interior doors

[kellia]

Sorry if kind of OT, but trying to save money!

I want to paint all of our bedroom and bathroom doors. They are the 6 panel, hollow kind from Home Depot. Some look like they may have been painted before but others might still be the original primer. Do I need to use primer (like Kilz) on all of them before I paint? Do I just apply it or do I need to sand it first? It's a bumpy (fake wood grain) surface, so I am unsure of how to sand it.

TIA!

When I have painted interior doors I just wash them well first. I have never sanded or used a primer.

I have painted many doors exactly like this. There is no need to sand or use primer. Just wash them off and make sure they are dry before painting. I used a Behr interior semi gloss enamel paint for ours. It only took one coat of paint.

Good to know...I was wondering about this myself!
