    • Mix the compound. Make sure to avoid chunks.

    • Apply the compound.

    • Spread it out to an even and smooth surface.

    • Allow it to dry over night.

    • If needed, use a sandpaper to even out the surface.

    • Note: This step should be repeated until you achieve smooth and even surface.

    • Repeat step two until you have the desired result. It should look smooth and even.

    • Note: Dry wall compound is typically white. Paint might be needed if the drywall compound doesn't match with the door's finish.

Conclusion

Paint can be used after the compound has dried off to match your door's finish. There are guides available online to help you paint over the drywall compound.
