Best primer and paint for fibreglass garage door?
Anonymous user 09/03/2024 - 3.09 PM
My husband has jetwashed our fibreglass garage door and it's gone very patchy. It was a brown/teak colour. I'd like to paint it to make it look better. Do I need marine primer and paint or can I use Zinsser Bullseye 123 as a primer but then what paint? It's a double garage door so want it to look good and last. Any advice would be great thanks.

I do a lot of garage doors, metal and fibre, and I use Zinsser Allcoat exterior all the time. It's water based, can be mixed in hundreds of colours, has a 12 year guarantee, and dries very fast. It's self priming so you only need to buy one tin and give it two or three coats.

Rust-Oleum is the prime and paint I'd use, you can purchase it from Amazon and works well on any fibreglass. Make sure the surface is properly cleaned and sanded to create a key for the primer to adhere too.

Hi
I would use International Toplac paint, give the door a light sanding, and paint.
Toplac is used for Marine/boats, so is tough.
Hope this Helps

You can you this but you can also just get as good of quality from local DIY store. Just ask in store and they will point you in the right direction. Just make sure surfaces are fully prepped.
