Hi all, i would like to paint my garage doors a different colour (Chartwell Green) I am not sure what they are made of (plastic/fibreglass?) Could anyone recommend a paint/product to use?
Thank you

I would have a look at Zinsser paint - not cheap but it's very good. I painted my metal garage door with it a few years ago and it's still good as new.

Clean including using a detergent, scuff up using a large scotch pad and then Zinsser allcoat in the colour that you want. If possible, use a sprayer for a perfect finish.

Thanks to you both, I hadn't given Zinsser a thought, good shout!

Mine look pretty similar. I went down to the local John Deere dealer & got a couple of litres of their 'wheel yellow'.
It's a synthetic enamel. Add about 10% good quality white spirit & it brushes out nicely with a 4" brush.
