Looks sharp.

[@taylor.g.deloye]

Thanks!

[@Thedesertcouple]

It looks great! We’re also in the desert and painting our garage door a nice dark color. It really pops with the landscape here.

[@taylor.g.deloye]

Thanks! I agree!

[@safteyfirst3938]

Gorgeously Executed and Phenomenal Finishing Look. Well done my guyy!!!! 🤙Going to do a customer's door soon Thank you for your tips and tricks

[@taylor.g.deloye]

Thanks so much!

I have a similar roller door. I lined the inside with Foilboard Insulation as my door faced West. It made a huge difference in the Summer in stopping radiant heat.

[@taylor.g.deloye]

I’ve been thinking about that, you have a link to what you used?

[@lindashelton4364]

Looks great!

[@taylor.g.deloye]

Thanks Linda!

[@ThemrV2012]

awesome now there's the trim

[@taylor.g.deloye]

🙂

[@jimmyrushing8513]

very helpful ...i would love to see you take the door off the track however...thanks

[@taylor.g.deloye]

I wish I knew how, it was brand new paid by insurance and didn’t want to accidentally void the warranty and break something!

[@johncipolla8335]

I have to do this . this weekend . I am in florida and the sun fades the paint

[@taylor.g.deloye]

Good luck on your project!

[@Supernaut2000]

Hi, looks great! Did you apply a primer before painting ( appears not?). If not, any worry about adhesion? Also does the paint in the grooves peel off when you open/close the door?

[@taylor.g.deloye]

Thanks! No need for primer. And no issues with peeling 8 months later. I used exterior stucco paint for added flexibility.

[@millergram]

I have to do this today. Saturday. I'm in Alabama and my HOA sent me a letter saying I had to. :/

[@taylor.g.deloye]

Good luck with your project!

[@mattc6924]

Thanks for the video, looks great. How much and what type of paint did you use?

[@taylor.g.deloye]

Welcome! It’s just exterior acrylic paint. You can upgrade and get masonry/stucco paint if you want added flexibility and durability.

[@JPW050]

How long did you allow the paint to dry between the panels before operating the door? Same question about the top and edges? How long did you wait for the paint to dry?

[@taylor.g.deloye]

If the door is in direct sunlight it will dry in minutes. To be safe you can wait 30 minutes, typically exterior paint jobs dry very quickly!

[@Amerigo_Vespucci]

Looks great. I'm going with a similar color. How many coats did you need at the end?

[@taylor.g.deloye]

Thanks! 2 coats!

[@lahzx10]

Great video, how long did it take to dry and did you have any issues with the door sticking since you painted the edges ?

[@taylor.g.deloye]

Thanks! The sun dried it very quickly, 5-10 mins. Longer dry time in the shade. No issues with sticking after drying.

[@lahzx10]

Thanks you

[@europeanartefacts]

Nice job! What are you going to do with the cracked driveway? I have the very same problem and looking for solutions.

[@taylor.g.deloye]

I’m going to procrastinate on that until the neighborhood gentrifies more and it’s worth the expense!

[@robertgarcia2469]

Thanks for the video. We have just had a new garage door installed and are going to paint it ourselves. How much paint did it take you just that one gallon?.

[@taylor.g.deloye]

One gallon and two good coats! 🙂

[@desireedaniels4675]

Good job! 👏👏👏 What exactly is that awesome color?

[@taylor.g.deloye]

To be honest I don’t know! I had Home Depot color match using left over paint. It’s a color from the previous owners. I am guessing it’s some type of Charcoal or deep gray.

[@MC-df7nd]

On the new garage door, did you have to sand or prime the door? Also, is that a latex paint or oil base paint? Thanks.

[@taylor.g.deloye]

Nope no prep required it will take paint perfectly, keep in mind if the door faces the sun the paint will dry very quickly. I used exterior 100% acrylic paint. Behr e600 Flat.

[@t.juarez8748]

What kind of paint brush did you use?

[@taylor.g.deloye]

Wooster from Home Depot I think

[@ddotremraf]

What kind of paint??

[@taylor.g.deloye]

Exterior acrylic e600 paint by Behr

[@swashbucklesfortysix5511]

wheres your Alkyd primer?

[@taylor.g.deloye]

It’s paint and primer in one
