Spraying your garage door in Cardiff
Garage door spraying is an ever-increasing area of our business which we are frequently asked about. So we thought we’d put together a short blog post based on a recent project we worked on. The reason is that we would follow the exact same steps for spraying your garage door in Cardiff.
A recent garage door spraying project
Recently we went to a job where the garage door was in great shape, especially considering it had been there since the house was built. Even though it was grimy, it was still in good shape. The client suggested switching to a powerful and welcoming red from the flaking grey. So we got this shade matched to the specialised spray paint we use.
The steps we took in spraying a garage door in Cardiff
Preparation
First, we used a dustpan and brush to remove any loose dirt or cobwebs from the door’s surface, frame, top, bottom, and edges. Then we scrubbed the door with a combination of hot water, fine scotch pads, and a powerful cleaning solution. After that, we used microfibre cloths to dry the surface thoroughly. That did away with the superficial grime. Then, we dried it off as thoroughly as we could by wiping it down.
Masking anything at risk
It was then time to mask everything up. Garage goods were wrapped in plastic and dust sheets were laid over the floor. The side brickwork and the soffit/fascia over the door were protected with masking paper.
Spraying the multiple coats
Any dirt or debris left on the surface will be accentuated by the dust coat and cause the paint to react negatively. So two more complete coats were sprayed on after making sure the paint hadn’t reacted. This guarantees the finish will be as good as new and we’re able to apply two to three coats because it dries so quickly. Therefore, we do this for every garage door spraying project we work on.
The finishing touch
We carefully then removed all the masking tape and checked for any overspray areas. But once the paint dried, it seemed like it came straight from the factory.
