What happens here

The process extends to exterior doors and garage doors, which require a different type of coating. First, the areas around these doors are carefully masked using 1-inch tape, 9-inch paper, and 72-inch masking film, applied with a hand masker, to protect adjacent surfaces from overspray. The front door is stained separately on a flat surface. For the garage doors, after the surrounding house siding has been stained, they are to be painted with a satin paint (Sherwin Williams Resilience Exterior Acrylic Latex). The edges of the garage doors do not need to be precisely masked for the main body painting, as the trim will be painted separately after the garage doors are dry. The garage doors are raised to paint the bottom edge, then allowed to dry before the solid color stain is applied to the surrounding trim.

Goal: Properly mask and apply appropriate finishes to exterior and garage doors

So, we're spraying this stain. You can see we got one guy spraying another guy's back brushing. And the sprayer we're actually using, we're using a Graco Rackex 515 tip to actually spray this stain on. We're using some nice thick stain brushes to do the back brushing. And we're showing you this process. Hopefully, this makes it simple for you to understand. [Music] So, we started staining this house about 7:00 this morning. It's about noon time, about halfway done. We got the whole front side done, two sides of it done, working our way around the back. We got these two garage doors. We're actually going to sp paint them a semi or uh satin stain, a satin paint from Shervin Williams, and we're going to be showing you that process here, too. Okay, we sprayed this stain all around these doors. Now I'm going to go and spray them with the satin paint. Got it masked down on the ground with uh 9in paper, 1in tape. And don't need to worry about the edges of it. Masking the edges cuz we're going to be trimming the doors out and the stain so we can get the paint oversprayed right on the trim. And we'll just raise the doors up. When that dries, go back and put the solid color stain around the trim. [Music] Heat. Heat.
