How To Prep & Paint A Metal Roll Up Garage Door. How to spray a garage door.

What happens here

Mask off the weather stripping at the bottom of the garage door. Use the hand masker to apply masking paper, ensuring the tape adheres securely. If the weather strip is dusty or dirty, it's recommended to stick the tape directly to the metal surface underneath for better adhesion. The paper should be tucked behind the weather strips, which will be visible once the door is lowered.

Goal: Protect weather stripping and concrete from paint overspray

What they say

Hide

process. You got the weather stripping the bottom of the door right here. You want to mask this off because you don't want to get any overspray on the weather strip. You're going to be masking off the outside of the door cuz you don't want any overspray on the bottom of your house. And then we're going to be masking off the the actual concrete below the door so you don't get any overspray on the concrete itself. And to actually mask off the weather strip, we're just taking the masker and taking this tape and sticking it to the weather strip. If the weather strip is dusty and dirty, you want to just stick it to the metal underneath. I'll run my my paper back to the the end of the door so it's tucked behind the weather strips and we'll show you what that looks like. A close look. We're going to take and tack it up underneath. So when we lower the garage down, this is completely covered. No overspray can get underneath the door. We don't need to worry about the backside. No overspray will go through the cracks of the door at all cuz they're completely sealed.
