Garage Door Painted Like Wood
Boy, do I really, really like this garage door painted to look like wood. It's a two-tone wood painted approach that really works great.
First the base coat goes up on the garage door.
I first painted the wood grain look in the areas around the central panels.
A close up shows the nice wood grain pattern painted on the garage door.
After the surrounding wood grain was painted on the garage door I painted the center panels to look like a rich cherry wood. To me this is the nicest garage door I have painted to look like wood, I just absolutely love it.

It really looks great... I love it... the garage door really looks like it was a wood... I love the effects and textures :)
Looks great however without a UV sealer it will not last more than 6 months. See how we do ours it may help.

Thanks for the comment and I totally agree about the UV. I put two coats of a UV sealer over my doors.
Thanks for sharing your post. Faux wood graining like marbleing can seem so realistic you can not tell it is just paint.
Hello
What colors did you use to paint the wood trim on your garage? I am trying to paint my stairs to match as much as possible my hardwood floor that is a gunstock oad reddish color?
Thanks.
p.s. love your garage door and front door.
Carolyn, the main color for the trim is a Benjamin Moore color called Clydesdale Brown. After that went on I also used a very little bit of Benjamin Moore color natural brown. I use that to darken it some here and there.
hope this helps.
I just did a posting last month on garage doors on my blog. Yours look great! I have never considered a faux patina on them!!!! Hmmmmmm..... they are gorgeous! Jennifer at The Magic Brush
if u could tell the base color and what kind of glaze u used and what were the color used in top coat
and how u used the glaze with top coat and in what step
Great job Robert. Using 2 different colors, one for the trim and a darker color for the panels really looks nice. Is that BM True Penny on the base/primer coat? Thanks
John
yes, true penny.
