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

What happens here

Use the 3M Hand Masker to run masking paper and tape along the outside frame of the garage door. This extends from the top to the bottom on both sides, creating a barrier between the garage door and the house exterior (siding or trim). This prevents any paint overspray from landing on the house itself. The amount of overlap should be sufficient to protect the house surface, depending on how close the sprayer will be operated.

Goal: Protect the house exterior from paint overspray

  • 3M 2020 Tape 3M — Securing the masking paper to the house

What they say

Hide

behind the garage door so you don't get any overspray on the concrete. We're running some masking around the outside of the garage door so no overspray will get on your house. And then we've run our masking onto the weather strips right here. And we're tucking it behind and tacking tacked up. Just like that. Backed up, ready to go. We can lower our garage door.
