Finishing practices which don't meet the criteria mentioned always result in less than acceptable levels. After installation, primed hardboards need to be finished within 15 days while the unprimed ones should be done as soon as possible. It is important that the paint should be of a trusted brand; and moreover be suitable for exterior application.

After making certain that a good finish has been given, make sure to list the ingredients on the label. One that offers warranty on the product would be a better buy. For coating the exterior of the hardboard garage door, it is necessary to go in for the one that specifies exactly this as its purpose. As the final finishing agent, the primer being bought should be usable with the top coat and be based on oil or alkyd, to seal the entire exterior of the door. Forewarning the buyers is necessary when anything else than oil alkyd primer is to be used on a special formulation for hardboard.

Acrylic latex, oil base or alkyd base are some of the best and popular choices for painting the top coat paint. Staining will damage the smooth hardboard and it is suitable only for textured hardboard. The application of an opaque acrylic latex stain will be the best. Before beginning, clean the surface of the hardboard of any sort of an impurity. You are reading valuable tips on garage doors and can learn more at automatic garage door.

The primer requirements, hardboard surface temperature, rate of spread and recommended application procedures vary from one brand to the other and it is advisable to understand what the maker of the brand you are using has to say. The surfaces of the boards, like the face, back and edges, should have a film which is at least four millimetres thick.

The prescribed finish label can be very helpful as working at the spread rate mentioned on the back will give the best results. Prior to fixing the door, apply the prescribed number of coats to the outside, inside and edges of the door. Unprimed doors require the primer to be put first followed by un-thinned finish coats and then painted or stained. Damage to the factory primer should be looked at with concern and the area should be spot primed by employing an alkyd oil primer. Drying up of the coats of primer should be followed by applying two finish coats.

Cleaning and slight touch ups are all that are required once the finish appears to be in a good condition. When the finish becomes badly eroded and thin, clean and prime the areas where the substrate is showing through, followed by complete pruning and finish coating. Just finish coating will be satisfactory if the substrates is not exposed.
