Hi houzzers i am in search of a semi transparent dark stain to complement dark brown windows for my front door.
Minwax stain garage door.
Lay down the drop cloth tarp or sheet to protect the driveway.
I used the mahogany wood gel stain by minwax since it s gel it works on metal and a 2 foam brush here s the original garage door that s my halloween spider herbert.
Most garage doors are stamped to look like wood grain even though they are metal.
Once satisfied add the gel stain to the paint tray and begin staining.
Add a small amount of stain to the garage door as a color test.
I must use a water based stain.
See application instructions above.
Would love your advice.
It s a pretty easy thing to do overall.

What s the best way to apply minwax gel stain to a fiberglass door.
Let dry completely so you can determine whether you re satisfied with the color.

Fiberglass is non porous and won t absorb the stain the way a wood surface does.
Let door dry completely before starting.
Combine the minwax design series with other minwax stains to produce on trend looks finishes and special effects.
Excess stain should be evened out with the brush not wiped away with a rag.
A good washing with soap and water using a pressure washer at the lowest setting should suffice.
