How to paint garage doors with Turbo Spray Paint the easy way

We painted our garage doors and shutters with spray paint! But, the cool part is that my friends at Rust-Oleum, asked me to try out a new spray paint. The new product is Stops Rust Turbo Spray System. It’s meant for big projects, and the paint comes out 4 times as fast than a regular spray can. Plus the cans are 24 ounces which is double the standard 12 ounce cans we are accustomed to. 

Painting our garage doors black with the new Stops Rust with Turbo Spray System from Rust-Oleum was amazing. The entire project went fast. Take a look at that curb appeal! 

I love how the black creates contrast and goes well with the red brick and light gray siding. Painting our garage doors and shutters made a big impact to the curb appeal of our home. Before:

After:

We washed the garage doors with soapy water, let it dry completely and sanded it slightly with 220 grit sand paper before we began.

Then, we taped off the garage with painter’s tape and plastic. 

It took me less than an hour to spray each door. Honestly, taping off the doors took the most time.  Each coat of Turbo took less than 10 minutes, and I coated each door three times waiting about 15 minutes in between coats.

 I LOVE how efficient the Turbo was.  The paint sprays FAST and it comes out in a 10 inch flat plane. Honesty, it felt like I was using a high-end paint sprayer. 

To check out the entire process, check out the video below:

 

 

The contrast of the doors against the white border, is soooo good! Plus, to complete the makeover, we replaced the light fixtures. 

We completed our project in one weekend.  The paint comes out so fast, and it has a special nozzle too. Honestly, the only complaint I have about Turbo is that it only comes in gloss white and black right now. I want it in alllllll the colors!

  1. Oh that looks amazing!!! They need a beautiful deep brown, so I can redo mine. Looks great:) I can’t believe how easy you made it look.

  2. You are a lifesaver!! I’ve been wanting to do this project for…okay 8 years…really. So embarrassing that I haven’t just done it already. Thanks for always being the most helpful and baby stepping me through it.

  3. I am wondering how the spray paint has held up nearly two years later? Have you had to repaint?

        1. Yes, you definitely could. The Turbo spray paint just saved you a ton of time because of how fast the paint is dispersed. Plus, the spray pattern on regular spray paint isn’t as large as the spray pattern on Turbo.
