Painting garage do it yourself

The garage is the very place that protects our car not only from theft, but also from various adverse effects. Therefore, it must be appreciated and care for it. Periodically, the paint in the garage crepts, and it requires a new staining. And we want to talk about it today.

Painting garage gate

The garage is not your apartment or house, but it is home to your car. And his gate can be called a peculiar face, so they should look good. Unfortunately, in our weather conditions, the paint on the garage gate is held not so long and requires periodic updates. And the point here is not even that after the paint comes down, the gate will look ugly, but in the fact that they will be subject to corrosion. Therefore, we recommend starting from painting the gate.

Preparation for painting

It is quite obvious that all work is better to start with the preparation, then on the go not to look for solutions to emerging problems.

At the preparatory stage you need to stock all necessary means and adaptations. Note the most important thing:

  • metal paint;
  • solvent;
  • liquid soap;
  • primer;
  • ladder;
  • hose garden;
  • roller;
  • painting sprayer.

Selecting paint

It should be noted that the paint for carrying out work should be chosen by moisture-resistant, as well as anti-corrosion. So you can reliably protect the gate from rain, and accordingly - and from corrosion.

Choosing paint to open the gate of her garage, you need to understand the main thing - it will be the main defense for the metal from corrosion, rust and other troubles. Therefore, it is not necessary to save much on the paint, especially since she is not very expensive. Having made the right choice, you will not concern the problems of repainting the gate for many years.

Here are the main enemies of the Iron Gate:

  1. Precipitation.
  2. Strong frost.
  3. Horny heat.

That is why the paint chosen by you is simply obliged to be moisture-resistant and anti-corrosion.

Two different enamels can be the best choice:

  • silicone;
  • alkyd.

But they are produced by many manufacturers who flooded the shelves of profile stores, so there are such a visit, you will have to choose only on the basis of your preferences and material prejudices.

The main advantages of such enamels are that they dry out in a matter of minutes, but at the same time they are perfectly fighting with corrosion without giving it to appear. But this is exactly what allows you to seriously increase the operational period of metal surfaces, which means that the garage doors.

Color selection

At first glance, you might think that the color of the garage is chosen exclusively on the basis of the preferences of its host. But it is not so. Of course, you can choose any favorite color and open the gate, but it does not always well fit into the concept of a number of garages, and violates the appearance of the entire garage cooperative. It is better to choose colors in tone.

In addition, it is necessary to know that dark shades and black color are also not very suitable, because everyone knows that it is black color attracts sunlight. Having made such a mistake, the gate of your garage will be glowing in summer days, and inside it will be impossible.

Cooking the surface to painting

The garage under painting should be prepared in a certain sequence, strictly following all items. We list them below:

  1. Stripping At the gate, a lot of old paint remained, which you want to delete. Take a metal brush or a grinder with a special nozzle, if there is such. In the process of stripping, the believed paint can be blown away using a construction dryer.

You can also use special to remove old paint. But, in this case, try to use respirators to not inhale hazardous pairs of chemicals.

  1. After full paint removal, take grinding paper and clean the surface of the gate with it. So you will achieve the fact that the paint as a result is perfectly closed with a metal surface.
  2. Take the solvent and degrease the gate with it. Do not skip various gaps and loops, because they should also pay attention.
  3. Apply three layers of primer. Use a special primer for metal surfaces and after each opening it, let the layer dry a little. So you will achieve the fact that the paint will be perfectly pester to the metal.
  4. If dust or any dirt had time to settle on the garage, it must be washed from the garden hose, or it is necessary to consider using a brush-absolution.

There is one nuance that needs to be taken into account when you are going to prepare for painting. Trace behind the weather forecast so that the sun and warm air temperature fell on the work day. After all, the sudden rain can put all the work of the pump and spend not only your time, but also money given for the materials.

Painting garage

To apply paint, you can use the following devices:

  • spray;
  • roller;
  • brush.

You can easily use a painting brush, but it will be quite difficult for you to fulfill all the work and do not leave divorces. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you take a pulverizer, or, in the absence of such, use the usual roller.

Naturally, when choosing a pulverizer, you need to take care that the paint does not accidentally get into any unwanted slits, and did not paint anything superfluous. It is obvious that for this you can save the surface with a special film or scotch.

And now we will proceed to the immediate execution of paintwork:

  1. Start painting from the top of the gate, gradually going down down. So you completely secure yourself from the occurrence of drills.
  2. To get rid of sudden transitions and achieve a complete monotony of the surface, parallel layers need to overlap each other. Fortunately, this is easy.
  3. After drying the surface, wait a bit and spend a thorough examination of the gate. If you notice the uneven painting or missed areas, they must be revealed again.
  4. In addition, you should not forget about hard-to-reach places on the loops and in various cracks. Roller will paint them difficult, so use the contour brush.
  5. Give paint to dry completely. For this day will go.
  6. After a day, open the garage by another layer of paint, after which let it dry, and last repeat the coloring procedure.

If all the work is performed correctly, in the appropriate order and with a sufficient amount of paint layers, the paint will last on your garage for more than 5 years, and this is a completely solid service life in our weather conditions.

Some Soviets

You will have another couple of tips that we could not not mention.

When performing all the work, the street should be the temperature from 10 to 20 degrees Celsius. This is very important, since at higher or low indicators, the drying of the paint may not be as we need.

A negligent approach to temperature modes may entail:

  • bloating;
  • tone unevenness;
  • things.

As for the number of layers, there is also a nuance here. 2-3 layers are good, but it is not worth overdoing, because if there are more than three layers, the paint will begin to lag under its own weight and its service life will sharply reduce.

How to paint garage

Painting the gate, you can move to the rest of the garage design. It is the floor, and the walls, but do not forget about the body of the garage, if it is a separate building, and its walls are not joint walls with garages that stand next door.

Outdoor color

If still your garage is a separate building that has not only the gate, but also non-touching walls, they should also be painted. Fortunately, it makes no sense to talk about paint procedure for a long time. All work performed, including training and direct painting, are completely identical to those that we performed when painting garage gates.

Therefore, you can safely repeat the operations already done on the other sides of your garage.

Required floor painting tools

Before proceeding directly to information about sex color, we need to figure out than paint the garage. Therefore, here is a list of necessary tools:

  1. Roller for staining.
  2. Brush.
  3. Dye.

If you choose a water-based paint, you better buy a fur roller with a medium-length pile on it. But in the case of the use of water-dispersion paint, it is necessary to make its choice in favor of a conventional foam roller, which you probably have.

Do not close your eyes on the need to buy a brush, as neither roller nor a pulverizer, you will not paint hard to reach places, and we have already spoken about it. 8

Most modern "houses" for cars, there are concrete floors. It is impossible to argue with the fact that they look like not very aesthetic and you need to do something. Therefore, painting is an ideal solution.

But here everything is not so simple, because when you decide how to paint the floor in the garage, you need to repel from some conditions that paint must match:

  • fire safety;
  • resistance to the effects of various chemicals;
  • sufficient relief (to avoid sliding).

There are different types of paints that you can offer in building stores for painting floor in the garage, but it is best to stop the choice on two versions:

  1. Alkyd paints.
  2. Epoxy paints.

Here you need to know some nuances. For example, epoxy paints will not require you to carry out the progress procedure. On the floor of the floor they will be secure, even despite the fact that the machine will move all the time. Paints are resistant to many influences and require dilution before use.

As for alkyd paints, they must be applied to the surface that has passed the progress procedure. Such paint will create a special film from polymers on the floor, which will be very resistant to a variety of influences.

Prepare all the necessary tools and paint, you can take pictures of the floor:

  1. Spank the floor to be completely even.
  2. Come on the floor with a primer diluted with a quartz type sand. So the surface will be embossed. A relief, as you understand, means the absence of slip. Soil apply in two layers using a brush.
  3. Using a roller or sprayer, apply paint to the floor and wait until it dry out.
  4. Next, spray another layer of paint.
  5. Ready.

Painting the walls of the garage do it yourself

Oddly enough, but paint the walls of the garage inside is one of the simplest tasks that we considered today. Of course, it did not cost without any nuances that need to be considered when choosing what to paint the garage.

Main nuances

Given the fact that in the garage you can store not only the car, but also many different tools and money, the entire room, as well as the coating of its walls, should be completely fire-safe.

Often in garages motorists hold fuel, gasoline, other combustible building materials. This is definitely a fact, and this can cause fire.

In addition, the coating of the garage walls should be resistant to chemistry and various smells. After all, when caring for cars, we use many means, the smell of which can deeply enter into the incorrectly selected paint.

Due to the temperature differences and humidity level in the garage, only the front paints are ideal for staining walls. In addition, so you can easily wash them without removing the colorful coating.

Color paint for staining walls is better to choose light tones. It is easy to explain, because even if there is a window in the garage, it often has small sizes, and this is not enough for normal lighting. The paint of light colors will be able to increase the reflection coefficient.

Selecting paint

By choosing the paint, you will hide all defects that can be on the walls, and for a long time to equip the interior of your garage. To understand the advantages of various types of paint, let's see the following list:

  • water soluble paints are the perfect choice. They are fire-safe, and at the same time do not smell at all;
  • oil colors, in turn, will not be the best choice, as they are hindered with time;
  • silicate paints can also be applied as they are not burned under the influence of light, and also are airtight. If your walls are posted, they can be opened with silicate paint;
  • polycreen paints will hold moisture, which takes place in the garage. Take the wall of such paint, you will not give the walls of coarse;

Coloring garage

The process of painting walls itself is simple, and you can easily handle it.

  1. To begin with, drive the wall. So you will achieve the most high-quality clutch, and the paint consumption is noticeably reduced.
  2. Apply paint and after drying it, cover the wall by another layer of paint.

It is necessary to know that it is quite assumes the option with paint on top of the old layer, but in this case the primer must be covered with a wall very high quality.
