Painting instructions For Steel and wood Doors.
Steel (Surface Preparation for Painting)
Wax on the surface must be removed or paint peeling/flaking will result. To remove this wax, it will be necessary to lightly scuff the surface with a fine steel wool pad, 
saturated with soapy water. A final wipe and rinse should be done with clean water only, to remove any loose particles and any soapy film residue. 
Surface scratches, which have not exposed the metal substrate, can be lightly buffed or sanded with 0000 steel wool or No. 400 sand paper to create a smoother surface. 
Care must be taken to not expose the substrate under the paint. Once the substrate is exposed, the likelihood for rusting is greatly increased. 
If substrate is exposed, it must be treated to prevent rust from forming. Sand the exposed area lightly and paint with a high quality metal primer, specifically intended for 
galvanized surfaces, to protect the area from corrosion. Follow the drying time on primer can label before applying topcoat. The surface of the factory-applied finish, that is 
being painted, must not be too smooth, or the paint will not adhere to it. It is advisable to test in an inconspicuous area, to evaluate adhesion. If poor adhesion is observed, 
surface preparation for painting thefactory-applied finish, must be repeated until desired results are achieved. Again, care must be taken to not expose the substrate under 
the paint. 
Steel (Painting)
After surface has been properly prepared, it must be allowed to dry thoroughly, then coated immediately with a premium quality latex house paint. Follow paint label 
directions explicitly. Oil base or solvent base paints are not recommended. Please note that if substrate is exposed and not properly primed, painting with latex paint may 
cause accelerated rusting of the steel in the exposed area.
NoTeS:
1.  Repainting of finish painted steel doors cannot be warranted, as this condition is totally beyond the door manufacturer’s control.
2.  Consult a professional coatings contractor if in doubt about any of the above directions.
3.  Follow directions explicitly on the paint container labels for proper applications of coatings and disposal of containers. Pay particular  
 
 
attention to acceptable weather and temperature conditions in which to paint.
wood (Preparation and Painting)
These instructions apply to all Wood Doors produced and sold by Wayne-Dalton Corp. The exterior surfaces, as well as all edges must be properly painted and maintained if 
satisfactory performance is to be achieved. The purpose for painting is to both protect and beautify the substrates. These requirements for finishing are intended to achieve 
both functions for reasonable service life of wood doors. Wood doors must be completely finished prior to installation, to ensure that the interior and exterior surfaces, as well 
as all edges of the doors are properly protected against moisture or other contaminants. Wood doors, in a non-finished condition, must not be transported or stored where the 
wood surfaces can be exposed to moisture or other contaminants.
wood (Surface Preparation)
All surfaces must be clean, free of dust and dirt and any other contamination. 
wood (Painting)
Using painter’s tape, tape off all metal surfaces. A premium quality latex house based finish paint is recommended for use over the factory latex based primer 
Painting the wood surfaces with at least 2 coats of finish paint over the primer. Follow paint manufacture’s label directions completely for all coatings.  Once finished, remove 
painter’s tape and touch up where necessary.  
wood (maintenance and Refinishing)
Yearly inspection of all the wood surfaces of the garage door(s) will reveal the extent of weathering and the need for refinishing. When the finish becomes eroded or thin, 
clean and prime the areas of deterioration. Follow up with a complete refinishing of the door(s), according to the above directions, as well as the manufacturer’s label 
directions. Protecting the door(s) from prolonged exposure to moisture and sunlight is vital in extending the service life of your garage door(s).
