Painting Colorbond Roller doors in "Deep Ocean", preparation, and painting with Dulux Weathershield Semi-Gloss.
I've been given a couple of roller doors to paint as a friend recommended me to get it done, not the sort of thing I do normally but I've done a few before.Enjoy

Did you clean up the blue overspray from the concrete?

@ThePa1nterhowto 3 жыл бұрын

There is no overspray, dropsheets are under the rollerdoors and anywhere there could be overspray was covered and more.

You can't go wrong with taubmans all weather gloss acrylic or dulux weathershield gloss acrylic, both can go over good clean surfaces without undercoat in most circumstances

I was going to say 1/2 litre left lol. I never used to worry about the back bit I'd just do the front. I did a lot of that back then it was 250 for 1 400 for 2. Sometimes I could stretch it to 450-500 but be 4 hours unpack spray pack up. We're good little earners nice easy work too. I tended to always use full gloss.

I normally don't do them regularly but a friend recommended me so I did it for him. These two were $400, $77 paint cost, the rest was labour. If it was summer I'd wash and paint two coats in 4 hours but it's just about winter so I needed some dry time and it's only a few minutes from home.

Keep up the great content. How do you go with adhesion without oil undercoat on the colourbond?

@ThePa1nterhowto 3 жыл бұрын

No problem,just use a good quality external acrylic,make sure its not powdery. I've done roofs 10-15 years ago that are still looking brand new, don't be fooled by all the hype on using undercoats,that went out 20 years ago. The only problem that could happen here is something called cohesion where two acrylics stick together.

Hi, thanks for sharing you knowledge! we have a pannel lift door any recommendations on how to paint the sections that you see when the door lifts ? (Small sections in between the pannels?) Also would you recommend using a primer? Thanks so much!

You could spray the door as its open in those sections or a brush would do nicely is what I do.

Hi greg did you give this a light sand aswel? And if this door had areas where paint was flaking would you scrape and fill with something or just feather edges with sandpaper and paint. Cheers mate great video

@ThePa1nterhowto 3 жыл бұрын

These doors were in great condition so I only used a green scourer to form a key. If they were peeling I would try and take it all off or sand and feather them until they were good to paint. I wouldn't use any fill, it would just come out later unless it was for a hole.

If you used oil based enamel for top coat you would need to undercoat first and you would have problems with runs. Next best would be water based gloss enamel that if the surface is good you could just do two light coats with spraygun.

No its not good to use low sheen, semi gloss or gloss only because low sheen is porous and can create sticking, handprints and a poor finish after a while.
