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

What happens here

Mask off the exterior trim and sides of the garage door opening. Secure masking paper around the outside of the door jambs and above the door to prevent paint overspray from getting on the house walls. If the trim is intended to be painted the same color as the garage door, you would mask the wall directly next to the trim. However, if the trim is to remain a different color or not be painted, mask directly onto the trim itself.

Goal: Protect house exterior and unpainted trim

Tools and materials

  • Masking Paper — Covering the house exterior
  • Masking Tape — Securing the masking paper

What they say

Hide

it's got to be far enough so it goes 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.
