Can this be done? I built a new log home and the only option for my garage door color was this horrible chocolate brown. The flashing and roof are an aged gray brown. Since I have a lot of roof in the front and then big dumb brown garage doors next to it, it looks poorly coordinated and ugly. Is it possible to paint them and what kind of paint and prep is necessary? I would have rather had wood, but no money was left.

On the metal garage door i had installed a few years ago all they said to do was to wash it to make sure it is clean and paint wiht an exterior acrylic satin or semi-gloss house paint. They did not reccomend sanding as it would cause the door to rust.
