    Am I allowed to paint my front door without permission from the HOA or is that something I need to submit for? - I live in a courtyard home - and it would be the door to the main house as opposed to the courtyard doors that face the street (in other words, no one will be able to see the door I need to paint).

    As the door is an exterior feature, an application is needed if you wish to change the color. Painting it the same color is considered maintenance and does not require an application. All you need is a photo of the house showing the current color of the door, a paint chip of the proposed color and a completed application which can be accessed here:

    I remember Maureen mentioning to me less than a year ago that if I'm gonna paint the door the same color, no need for application but if the color is going to change, then an application for modification is in order....wondering if its too cold to paint at this time of the year? Wonder if the paint will work at a cold temp?

    A:Ideally, the temperature should be in the suggested range and above the dew point for at least 48 hours after application. Colder temperatures and moisture on the surface will not allow a paint film to form properly. This will shorten the life expectancy of the paint and could cause surfactant leaching, mildew growth, frosting, and adhesion problems. When the forecasters predict changing temperatures that may drop below the normal recommendation of 50° F for latex paint, consider using a house paint that can be applied and will cure at temperatures as low as 35° F. This will give you the opportunity to extend your painting season by as much as two months in most areas of the country.
