If your garage door does not conform to this warranty, notify us in writing at the following address promptly after discovery of the defect.

Painting preparation: Clean surface first with a diluted
solution of Trisodium Phosphate. The recommended
concentration is 1/3 cup of powder to 1-1/2 to 2 gallons of
water. A cleaning pad (3M Synthetic steel wool GRAY not
green) should be used saturated with this cleaning solution.
Rub with even pressure to lightly scuff the surface while ap-
plying the cleaning solution over all surfaces to be painted.
A final wipe and rinse with clean water and sponge should
be done to remove any loose material. Change water often
to ensure clean rinse and allow to dry. Pre test your paint
on a small area (see paragraph Paint below). If the paint
shows signs of poor adherence, (tape test below) there may
be a problem with the paint or the surface preparation. DO
NOT PROCEED! A new paint or further preparation of the
surface is called for.
Alternate cleaning compounds: Areas of the country that
do not carry Trisodium Phosphate can use a biodegradable
cleaner with the cleaning pad above. Follow above
directions to rinse completely and pre test paint.
Painting: Your steel garage door can be painted with a
high quality 100% acrylic latex (flat, satin, or semigloss)
exterior grade paint. Before painting the door it must be free
of dirt, oil, caulk, waxes and mildew.
Do not use any type of oil based paint or Alkyd modified
acrylic latex paint. These paints will void the warranty of
your door.
