Painting your Door
Paint: Your steel garage door can be painted with a high quality,
100% acrylic latex (flat, satin, or semi-gloss) exterior grade paint.
oil-based
Cleaning: Before painting your door, it must be free of dirt, oils,
chalk, waxes and mildew. The prepainted surfaces can be
cleaned of dirt, oils, chalk and mildew with a diluted solution of
trisodium phosphate. Trisodium phosphate is available over the
counter at most stores under the name SOILAX®, in many
laundry detergents without fabric softener additives, and in some
general purpose cleaners. Check the label for trisodium
phosphate content. The recommended concentration is 1/3 cup
of powder to 1–1/2 to 2 gallons of water. After washing the door,
always rinse well with clear water and allow to dry.
If the door has ever been waxed, the wax must be removed
before painting. Doors are not waxed during the manufacturing
process. The wax can be removed by wiping door surface with a
rag saturated with Xylene (Xylol), available at most paint or
hardware stores. Wiping should be done at moderate pressure
and Xylene must not be allowed to sit on the door for an
extended time. Damage to your door’s paint system can occur if
overexposed to this or other solvents.
Caution: Safety instructions on the solvent’s container must be
followed. After de-waxing the door, clean with trisodium
phosphate, as stated previously.
NOTE: Sanding could remove rust-inhibiting compounds,
therefore, sanding should be done only to damaged areas where
bare metal has been exposed. Refer to the “Paint Repair”
section of these instructions.
Paint Repair: Should your door’s paint finish become damaged,
exposing the bare metal, it will become necessary to repair this
area to prevent rust from forming. The damaged area should be
lightly sanded with a medium to fine sandpaper making sure to
remove all visible red and white rust. Wipe this area with a dry,
clean rag. Coat the sanded area with a high quality, rust
inhibiting, zinc enriched primer. This type of primer can be found
at most paint or hardware stores, and should be labeled for
covering bare and galvanized steel. Once the primer is applied,
wait the time specified on the primer’s instructions before you
finish painting your door.
Paint: Your steel garage door can be painted with a high quality,
100% acrylic latex (flat, satin, or semigloss) exterior grade paint.
Since all paints are not created equal, the following test needs to
be performed: paint should be applied on a small area of the
door (following the instructions on the paint container), allowed to
dry, and evaluated prior to painting the entire door. Paint defects
to look for are blistering and peeling. An additional test is to
apply a strip of masking tape over the painted area and peel
back, checking to see that the paint adheres to the door and not
to the tape.
After satisfactorily testing a paint, follow the directions on the
container and apply to the door. Be sure to allow adequate
drying time should you wish to apply a second coat.
Window frames & inserts can be painted with a high quality,
100% acrylic latex. The plastic should first be lightly sanded to
remove any surface gloss.
NOTE: Do not apply paint when door surface temperature is
different from manufacturer’s suggested temperature range for
application.
Snap-In Grille Removal And Replacement:
NOTE: DO NOT REMOVE SCREWS from the window frame.
Decorative grilles are designed to snap-in and out of the window
frame.
Some doors with windows have a decorative grille attached in
front of the window. The grille can be removed for cleaning or
painting purposes.
1) Remove the tabs on the vertical legs of the grille (two on
short panel windows, six on long panel windows) from the
notches in the front window frame.
2) The grille can be firmly pulled out of the window.
3) Replacing the grille is the reversal of the process described
for removal. The two or six longer tabs on the vertical legs of
the grille must be placed in the notches under the lip of the
front window frame. The two shorter tabs on the horizontal
leg of the grille must be placed under the lip of the front
window frame.
Glass Replacement
To avoid injury, use extreme caution in handling glass window
pane. When the frame is removed, the exposed steel edge of the
door may be sharp. Avoid contact with the steel edges.
Glass Replacement: If your door is equipped with windows and
the glass should need replacement, follow the steps below:
1) With someone holding the outside frame, remove the screws
from the inside window frame.
2) Pull the inside frame out of the door.
3) Carefully remove the broken or old glass.
4) Insert the new glass. The glass should be 17-5/8” x 14-1/16”
(short panel windows) or 40-1/8” x 14-1/16” (long panel
windows). See illustration below for glass dimensions of
single or double arched windows. (FIG. Glass-1)
5) With someone holding the outside frame, reinsert the screws
into the inside frame, trapping the glass.
FIG. Glass-1
NOTE: Do not use oil-based paint. Using oil-based paint will
void the warranty on your door.

Painting preparation: Clean surface first with a diluted
solution of Trisodium Phosphate. The recommended
concentration is 1/3 cup of powder to 1-1/2 to 2 gallons of
water. A cleaning pad (3M Synthetic steel wool GRAY not
green) should be used saturated with this cleaning solution.
Rub with even pressure to lightly scuff the surface while ap-
plying the cleaning solution over all surfaces to be painted.
A final wipe and rinse with clean water and sponge should
be done to remove any loose material. Change water often
to ensure clean rinse and allow to dry. Pre test your paint
on a small area (see paragraph Paint below). If the paint
shows signs of poor adherence, (tape test below) there may
be a problem with the paint or the surface preparation. DO
NOT PROCEED! A new paint or further preparation of the
surface is called for.
Alternate cleaning compounds: Areas of the country that
do not carry Trisodium Phosphate can use a biodegradable
cleaner with the cleaning pad above. Follow above
directions to rinse completely and pre test paint.
Painting: Your steel garage door can be painted with a
high quality 100% acrylic latex (flat, satin, or semigloss)
exterior grade paint. Before painting the door it must be free
of dirt, oil, caulk, waxes and mildew.
Do not use any type of oil based paint or Alkyd modified
acrylic latex paint. These paints will void the warranty of
your door.
