Wood grained garage doors by Z Freeman

Zach Freeman demonstrating faux bois on garage doors

[@carlosaroliveira5]

Great trick man! I'm in Brazil in Sao Paulo and painting my doors and baseboards around the house and his technique helped me solve a problem here. Very grateful for your video. Thank you!

[@wallsprings]

I tried this method over the weekend. You make it look easy.

[@wayneriffle]

You make it look easy, Zach. Very nice.

[@zakk1000]

Pigments? Ground? Im not sure what you mean. It's a eggshell latex base-coat tinted to an orange yellow type color, and the glaze is made with trans oxide colorants which include a brown, black, red, and yellow color mixture to your own preference. I hope that answers your questions. :)

[@mikemb123]

beautiful doors. maybe you could come up with a way to fill in the grain on the vertical "muntins" to make that grain run vertical. wow that looks killer! I hope they are paying you well! really beautiful work

[@thebellanextdoor]

Amaaazing! Hope to get brave enough to attempt this on my own doors. Love the technique! Thanks!

[@teresafairbanks9870]

I would really like to know the colors that you used to create this beautiful door.

[@fauxutah4883]

that's a cool way to do a garage door looks like you have plenty of open time with your glaze

[@zakk1000]

@ vornam . I understand what your saying because realistically its not the case with real wood. However, these doors have a prefab grain pattern that runs the same direction and when I try to brush vert against that, that metal surface grain pattern comes through and makes the door look really choppy and eratic. So I've just took to doing the whole segment of door as if it's one solid piece and it seems to have a smoother, flowing, wood effect. If the door was a smooth surface, we could make it

looking great mr Z

I’m curious if I should use oil where I am. I’m in Canada, summers can be hot but winters are also pretty brutal. My door also faces north east, it doesn’t get much more than 30 minutes of sun on it. I’m wondering if the oil would hold ip better to the different temperatures and extremes.

[@zakk1000]

They're brushes made by Omega in Italy. Yeah, they're pretty pricey. I got them at a local paint store that used to have lots of faux tools but they don't carry them anymore. So if you find them , give me a shout.

Hi Zach, very nice work on this video, and thanks for sharing! You mention a top coat for the doors when done, what would you recommend?

[@michelleslist1]

Looks great, I would love the names of products to recreate on my personal home.

[@patrickcullen2714]

Great job

[@mikemb123]

@zakk1000 in the descriptions I read, the term "ground" is interchangable with "base", I guess I was reading stuff that was kinda old school, lol nice work btw I tried plain" yellow oxide" universal colorant in primer wich is just titanium white and it looks just like a paint stir stick ha ha

[@darioz707]

Exceptional; you my friend have a rare talent the rest of us wish we had. How are you able to see detailed color so intensely is mystifying. Better developed retinas maybe.

[@carlademelo9297]

Nice wood work..! :)

[@ankerholzb1]

Very nice work Zac! What type of clear coat do you recommend?

[@yolandacox2856]

Hi, i live in Texas and love what you've done to this garage door. I want to do mine, however if my garage door is already the standard light yellowish look look, do I still need to do a base coat?

[@zakk1000]

Hey Timone, Thats great i hoped it all worked out for you!! sounds good for fishin, ive only caught sea trout

[@mechudotico]

hi there... wonderful job... What kind of paint do you used (oil or ?)... what color base name... ?

[@andrewwhedrick]

Man love this what part of the country are you in? Would hire you in a heartbeat to help me with this if you were local!

[@rickkennedy825]

Looks great but the vertical boards grain should run in the different direction

[@bigbassman641]

Hey Zack, could you tell me the Glaze color and brand you used on the Garage door. I am in NC and would like to do mine this spring. Thanks, Scott Eidson

[@thebellanextdoor]

Which Omego brushes did you use? I'm on the website wanting to order a set to try this here at home in Utah. Thanks =)

[@davidbelitz7692]

Beautiful work! What do you charge for a door that size?

[@zakk1000]

i use the 6 inch spalter!! GO FOR IT!

[@srstone0909]

Looks good if he was one solid piece of wood, it would have looked more realistic if the raised panels looked separate, from the framing that holds them together, Knowing how a paneled door is put together helps✌

[@wallsprings]

Where did you get that brush? I've seen some like it in the $65 to $80 range. Is that what you are using? Thanks.

[@zakk1000]

Another announcement . Omega brushes can be purchased on " fine paints of europe" website!!! Yahoooo!!! I just found out.:)

[@mikemb123]

what pigments are in your ground

[@ladydrone2345]

Love your videos. l think you're missing out on an opportunity to post samplers and colour recipes. Many who aren't going to use your services for geographical reasons would purchase your recipes and technique booklets online. l know l sure would.

[@BodyByKymXclusive]

All good blogger s and youtubers leave info in the comment section. What do paint have anything to do with a secret...

[@thebellanextdoor]

Zach, love your video. Wasn't able to get my doors done last fall. I want to know that the freeze is over. Is it possible to get some info via email? Could not find anyway to email you here. Thanks

[@zakk1000]

@raraoary1. I'll give you a hint. The company is based in Vero beach Florida, and before you can buy they're product, you gotta spend about 1800. On one of they're classes. :) but hey, it's worth it!!

[@thebellanextdoor]

Thank you!!!

[@zakk1000]

Hi PTRSSNIPER I never worry bout work being taken from me :) theres plenty out there for everyone! LOL The product I use Can be purchased from a website i can email to you if you email me . the primary colors i use are brown,black,red,yellow, in trans oxide colorants

[@zakk1000]

hey andrew Im in South Florida

[@zakk1000]

It's all water based. Oil don't last in the brutal florida sun.

[@harrycarr9517]

WRONG.....you never start painting anything from the bottom up,.....and the panels are usually grained first then the rails then the styles,,,,,,

[@Telelikeitis]

That really makes sense. What do you use for a glaze? I want to do my garage door and he wont tell how to mix the glaze.

[@santosefrain845gmail.cnoem6]

I would like to know what kind of material you using to make that door looks beautiful
