Paint a garage door in 2 minutes. How to paint doors!
What happens here
Immediately after spraying the entire garage door, raise it halfway up. This prevents the wet paint from sticking or 'tacking' to the weather stripping, which could damage the weather strip or the garage door opener mechanism. Raising it halfway allows the paint to dry without risk of adhesion while also preventing wind from blowing debris onto the wet painted surface. Once the door is raised, remove the top section of masking paper and tape from the weather strip. Leave the masking paper on the concrete and the side tracks, as this will be used for hand-painting the trim later.
Goal: Prevent paint from sticking and prepare for trim work.
