Hi, I'm slowly doing the garage up and the paint on garage door is flaking off on the outside and I want to paint the inside white to make it brighter. What paint would you recomend using as I've had a look at exterior paint and metal paint and the reviews are hit and miss. Thanks ben
I've used Dulux Metalsheild myself on garage door and very good results. Usual prep required and bare metal needs a coat of Metalsheild primer Also take a look at Bedec Barn Paint (yep know ur talking about a garage) ! Not used it myself (yet) but always has great reviews and very little prep or primers / undercoat needed. It seems like an amazing product Comes in a few colours and either Matt, satin or gloss - take a Google !
I did mine with Zinsser all coat exterior last year, satin white. Really happy with the results. http://www.screwfix.com/p/zinsser-all-coat-exterior-paint-white-2-5ltr/1891g
Thanks I'll have a look at that. Do I use the same stuff for the inside. As want white inside and blue outside
Galvanised metal? If so get the correct paint for surface. You need to really clean it well. Krud off or some other per paint cleaner. Any oil or dirt will stop paint sticking well.
This Bedec Barn paint can be applied over surfaces previously painted with creosote, tar or bitumen, according to their website so must really have some good adhesion properties I've been looking as want to paint a timber side gate black which has been recently treated with creosote Bedec gaurentee their barn paint will do the job, water based as well an no primer/undercoat needed - seems too good to be true
