Best to paint garage door

[AVerma]

Hi all,

Basically long story short, I've had to sand off the blue plastic covering on my garage door as the previous owner (5 plus years) didn't remove it all and it had bonded to the door.

I've attached a photo graph, but my question is what type of paint do i need to restore the door?? Also the door to magnetic so i presume its Steel?

Many Thanks.

Best to use a primer on the bare surfaces

Hammerite is what I would recommend and they do the primer and the garage door paint.

Just google it.

Their site comes with all the info you will need and it should only need the one coat after priming (I did say should....)

I found I needed two coats of the top coat....not that I've got round to doing the second yet......
