For clients requesting a professional hand-application paint finish, I apply a mimum four coat process utilizing brushing, back-brushing, and roller application of two coats professional grade primer/sealer and two coats of professional grade 100% acrylic latex, with optional light sanding between coats, on ALL SIX SIDES OF THE GARAGE DOOR.  Prep work prior to painting includes surface touch-up as required, two complete sandings, with an optional micro-bead of commercial caulking for those clients wanting an additional flexible barrier against moisture.  Your door will look beautiful on both the inside and outside!
