  2. Just a couple of suggestions based off my experience this fall - prime the doors with oil primer first (I have a giant peeling spot to fix) and check on Craig's List for black shutters. We found ours for $15 a pair, which is definitely worth it compared to the effort of taking them all down, painting, putting them back up....
