How to paint a metal garage door - Using Hammerite
Useful tip: We advise painting your metal garage door on a dry day with temperatures above 10 degrees. This ensures the paint will dry correctly and your endeavour won't be wasted.

To help you get the best finish on your door, you need to get rid of blistering, flaking or bubbling paint. Use a flat scraper to remove the old paint so the surface is smooth.
