How to lighten orange pine internal doors?

[WheelyCote]

House has pine doors. They are an orangy woody colour. Im tempted to pain them white.

Is the orangeness something that can be lightened??

I just painted all mine white. Took aaaages but totally worth it. Makes the house so much lighter.

They could be sanded and re-stained another colour.

I have the same problem myself and wondered if I should sand, scrub with bleach or paint but when I googled I saw this:

“When pine is exposed to sunlight it causes a chemical change in the wood the results in the wood taking on a golden or orange tint. This is a natural part of the aging process for pine. When pine is stained, it can make the orange effect even more pronounced.”

So if I do sand it and take the top layer off it will go back to orange anyway so I think I may as well just paint.

When you paint use an undercoat that stops colour bleeding through. Treat the pine with this first. Then standard eggshell paint. Not gloss.

Burn them.

Thanks. Painting it is
