Painting or coating an unfinished rubberwood door to protect it from oils and standing water involves several steps to ensure a durable and long-lasting finish. Here's a guide to help you achieve the best results: Materials You'll Need: Unfinished rubberwood door Sandpaper (120-grit and 220-grit) Tack cloth or microfiber cloth Primer suitable for wood Paint or finish suitable for wood (such as polyurethane or varnish) Paintbrushes or paint sprayer Painter's tape Drop cloths or newspapers Protective gloves and safety goggles Step-by-Step Guide: 1. Prepare Your Workspace: Choose a well-ventilated area with good lighting for your painting project. Lay down drop cloths or newspapers to protect the surrounding area from paint splatters. 2. Clean the Door: Use a damp cloth to clean the surface of the rubberwood door and remove any dust or debris. Allow the door to dry completely before proceeding. 3. Sanding: Start with 120-grit sandpaper to lightly sand the entire surface of the door. Sanding helps to smooth out any imperfections, open the wood's pores, and provide a better surface for the primer to adhere to. After sanding, wipe the door with a tack cloth or microfiber cloth to remove the sanding dust. 4. Apply Primer: Apply a suitable wood primer using a brush or roller. Make sure to cover the entire surface evenly. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for drying time between coats if multiple coats of primer are required. Sand the primed surface lightly with 220-grit sandpaper after it's completely dry to achieve a smoother finish. 5. Apply Base Coats: If you want to paint the door a specific color, apply your chosen paint after the primer has dried and been sanded. Apply thin, even coats of paint, allowing each coat to dry completely before applying the next. Multiple thin coats are better than one thick coat. Sand lightly between coats for a smoother finish. 6. Apply Protective Finish: If you prefer a clear finish, choose a polyurethane or varnish suitable for wood. Apply thin coats of the protective finish using a clean brush, roller, or sprayer. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for drying time and sanding between coats if necessary. 7. Handle Oils and Water Protection: To protect the door from oils and water, ensure that the chosen protective finish is water-resistant and offers adequate sealing properties. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish. 8. Allow Ample Drying Time: Proper drying time is crucial to achieving a durable finish. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for drying times between coats and before using the door. 9. Reattach Hardware: Once the finish is fully cured and dry, reattach any hardware such as doorknobs, hinges, and locks. Remember that each product you use, including the primer, paint, and protective finish, might have specific application instructions and drying times. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines for the best results. Additionally, taking your time and applying each coat carefully will help ensure a professional-looking finish that effectively protects your rubberwood door from oils and standing water.

Nonsense. They would have plugged a machine into the OBD2 port to clear the engine light... there is a code. If the light was off... there is still a record of event... which has a code. -
My mother has dementia and is in a care facility (Australia). Her pension covers the day to day costs. $750,000 wedge up front to get her in there.
