Scrub your door with a sti bristle brush

and a mixture of dish soap and warm

water. Remove all dirt and mildew. Rinse

well with water from a garden hose or

bucket. Dry your door with a lint free cloth

and make sure you wipe between the door

panels and edges where water pools.

Sand ONLY for the following surfaces:

Shiny/glossy surfaces: use a #300 grit

sandpaper to lightly de-gloss the surface.

Rust spots: sand the area with a #300 grit

sandpaper until the area is smooth. Apply

a rust blocking primer over the rust spots.

Allow to dry fully before continuing.

Apply two to three rows of the Shurtape®

painter’s tape to protect the outside sides

of your garage door frame, windows or

window inserts, the trim/ seal which is

located at the bottom of your door, and

any other areas you don’t want painted.

If it is easy and possible, remove your

garage door’s handle. If you can’t easily

remove the hardware, then cover up with

painter’s tape.

**IMPORTANT! PLAN OUT YOUR APPLICATION**

Apply Wood Look paint between 50° - 85° F and start your project at

least three hours before any direct sun will contact your door because

direct sunlight will cause the Wood Look paint to dry too quickly during

application. Or, you can apply Wood Look one hour after any direct

sunlight has gone past your door to allow time for your door to cool

down. Make sure rain is not in the forcast for a minimum of 4 hours.

Leave your door slightly cracked open during application and dry time

to prevent your door from sticking. Place a tarp down, extending from

the outside to the inside of your home, to prevent any accidental spills.

Your project time should take approximately 3 hours from start to nish.

**Vinyl surfaces must ﬁrst be primed with a water-based primer that will adhere to vinyl. Please note, trim around garage door windows is

typically made of vinyl and would need to be primed ﬁrst.

POSITIONING GARAGE DOOR If you have a sectional, roll-up garage door (most common) open your door until the door’s bottom section is about level with your chest. This will make for easier application. To accomplish, pull the release cord and manually control the door’s height. Caution: Be sure the garage door is fully closed and in the down position before you pull the cord.

Step 2 Continued: There is no need to add additional paint to the mitt when blending. (This is how the wood grain look is achieved - How heavy or light you apply the Wood Grain Finish Coat will dictate the overall deepness of your wood’s tone). Do not go back and repeatedly make the horizontal wood grain strokes because the paint will start to dry and smudge. If you noticed you missed a spot, don’t worry because it will be filled in with the next application.
