Btw your explanations are professor status. " Think about how a garage door is built." That's a very simple instruction that's going t help a lot of folks will do a much better job. I'm I professional boat builder little tip. Do not listen to the haters telling you how wrong it is to mix the 2 paints. I'm actually a professional in the auto and marine coating. I experiment all the time with different paints and making the stuff work. It's made me tons of money and I have several patents pending. Experimenting has made me the best at what I do. I'll be using your technique but using a polyester gel coat.

Hey! The color is pumpkin used was from SICO paints.

The door will look similar to mine. If you want darker. Make your base darker. But if you want lighter, keep the base similar to mine and get a lighter gel stain color Hope this helps!

Which colors did you use for the paint and stain?

I used pumpkin seed from SICO paints for the base color and then "special walnut" in the stain. hope that helps!

Does this scratch easily?
@dcwoodworks Жыл бұрын
No not at all! The sun like bakes the gel stain. I tried to scratch mine and it wouldn’t

I'm confused by your identification of the base coat as being a "vinyl" paint. Is this a latex paint used to cover a vinyl product?.... is it also possibly all-in-one with primer?..... also SICO seems to be a Canadian specific brand. It would be good if you can re-state what you used and show a product label, product number, or anything like that to be more clear what this is. This is important enough not to get wrong !!! .... :)

there are certain paints made for vinyl, essentially its just an exterior paint. SICO is canadian but I also love benjamin moor and they have a phenomenal exterior vinyl paint aswell

@@dcwoodworks ..I get all that.....for stuff like this it is good to use specific product references like product numbers and such....just sayin'. Listing generalities like Benjamin Moore as a company name and such simply opens the door to ...too many possibilities. Thanks.

I work in the paint industry and people keep doing this. DONT DO IT. GEL STAIN AND POLY DO NOT GO ON PAINT. IT WILL FAIL. JUST BECAUSE IT LOOKS FINE AFTER 2 YEARS DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE AVOIDED CHEMICAL DAMAGES

My builder painted the textured fiberglass door black.. I prefer gel stain. Do you recommend that I strip the paint off and then do the gel stain and poly instead of painting tan?
@dcwoodworks Жыл бұрын
@@lauraclinkscales104 are you going for the wood look? The tan color is what shows through the gel stain so I think it’s a very important step I also don’t think you need to strip off the black. Just scuff it up, use a good primer and then paint over it

Which color gel stain did you use?
@dcwoodworksАй бұрын
thanks! I used a base color called pumpkin seed (honestly any light beige will work) and special walnut is the stain color, its my favourite
