        "text": "Yes, hollow-core doors can be painted successfully if prepped properly. Most hollow-core doors have a thin wood veneer, embossed faux grain, or smooth factory primer. The key is thorough cleaning with a degreaser to remove hand oils around handle areas, followed by scuff-sanding with fine-grit sandpaper to break any slick sheen. If the door has peeling laminate or damage, patch it with wood filler first. Use a short-nap microfiber or foam roller to avoid texture buildup.",
