Garage Door Renewal Kit Best Buy
Scott Geyer, Lakeville, Minn.: “My dark-painted metal garage door was faded and chalky from time and exposure to our Minnesota weather. I looked at repainting and heard from a friend about the Everbrite kit to restore metal doors (www.everbritecoatings.com; ph 800-304-0566).
“I was skeptical that it would be a short-term fix, just a band-aid that would have me painting the following year.
“The Everbrite website is straightforward and has a lot of information and testimonials about their products. I ordered the two-car garage door renewal kit in satin finish for $100 plus $16 S&H. The kit came with the Everbrite coating, EZ-prep solution, prep pads, applicator pads, a microfiber cleaning towel, nitrile gloves and comprehensive written instructions.
“Like painting, they tell you upfront that the result depends on the cleaning and surface prep you put in. It took me quite a while to complete the prep, but I figured it would still be better than painting.
“The coating goes on with an applicator pad like a wipe-on stain. It’s a thick and smelly solution that becomes sticky fast. They mention taping off any surfaces near the door several times. You don’t want to get the coating on side door seals or the concrete under the door, as once it’s dry—it starts to set up and dry fast—you won’t get it off. You don’t want any dust or debris getting to the door during application as it would stick and dry to the surface.
“Application is easy and gives the immediate result of a new-looking door. I thought it would dry down dull, but it didn’t. I’ve been very impressed with the results.
“I wish I’d paid more attention to taping off the door edge seals as Everbrite will adhere to anything it touches, and I had a few spots where I had some sticking from the coating touching the door seals and sticking to the door. If I had to do it again, I would’ve double-taped everything near the door.
“Overall, I’m very happy with the end result. It took less time and effort than repainting, and the door looks new, even a year later. It was a satisfying project with less cost, mess or cleanup than painting.”
