The process I used in my blog really works. I did this garage door 5 years ago and the rust never come back.

Painting a rusty garage door in Seattle can be a great DIY project to spruce up your home's exterior! Start by cleaning the surface thoroughly with a wire brush and a mild detergent to remove any rust and dirt. Next, apply a rust-inhibiting primer to the entire surface of the door to prevent future rusting. Once the primer is dry, choose a high-quality exterior paint in a color that complements your home's aesthetic, and apply it evenly using a paintbrush or roller. Be sure to allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next. If you're unsure about tackling the project yourself, consider reaching out to a professional garage door repair service in Seattle for expert assistance and advice. Happy painting!
