Hammerite Garage Door Paint Black 750ML

Product Information

Unless your garage door is in dire need of extensive repairs or even unrepairable, painting your garage door will add another layer of depth to your curb appeal as well as cover any mild scratches or bumps that come with common wear and tear. Light Gray: Light gray is expected to be one of the most popular garage door color choices in the last few years. It’s a little darker than white, but it has a gentle appeal that can help you give your garage a unique look. If your home’s outside is a lighter shade than the garage doors, this is one of the greatest color options.

Along with painting the garage door, here are some other simple ideas to improve curb appeal that I’ve done in the past: The paint you opt for depends on what finish you want to achieve, with varnishes, stains and paints all offering different looks for exterior wood. While a varnish enhanced the natural look of the wood without changing the colour, a wood stain can stain the wood in a number of colours, while paint creates a completely opaque coloured finish. We would recommend going for a wood treatment from the Sadolin range, that all offer excellent protection for exterior wood. Deciding on what paint to use for garage doors as previously mentioned will require deliberation as different materials will need varying paint to complete an adequate adhesion process to the selected material.

But this picture shows our garage door open. You see that tiny strip of white? That’s the door’s original color and as you can tell, the people who painted it brown never painted this section of the garage. It’s not necessary to paint it but it does ensure that when you close your garage, the color will fully cover it. First, fresh blues are the ONLY clean colours that work with pink beige carpet. And the blue green walls relate to the teal doors. Most standard two-car garage doors will only need 5L of paint, which will provide two to three solid coats. Sage: Sage (and any green) has been popular in the design world for a long time. Sage is an earthy green tone that works well as an accent for those who want to connect their home to nature. It’s also beautiful against a light blue house with dark blue trim. Or any sort of earthy tone to compliment it.
