Create the Faux Window Frames

• I began this garage door project by using the top row of squares on the door, and I taped around the border of each square first.
• Next, I measured the centers of each square both horizontally and vertically. I used a level to draw pencil lines across each way.

Use Tape for Window Frames

• I used skinny painter’s tape over each of the pencil lines to create the window frames
• Press down on the painter’s tape firmly to ensure good adhesion and to prevent any bleed through.

Black Paint for Windows

• Once I had everything taped off, I set up my FLEXiO 5000 paint spray gun. I’ve used my paint sprayer before on stencils and it always gives me a nice, crisp line.
• I used an exterior paint that prevents rust in a shiny finish. The high shine finish will help.

Let the Paint Dry & Add Hardware

• Once the “windows” are painted, allow it to fully dry before removing the painter’s tape.
• As the paint is drying, add decorative hardware to complete the transformation.
• I found this set of hinges and handles that are actually magnetic. They stick right to your metal garage doors with no tools needed!

• This simple makeover could not have been easier and the before and after is like night and day! All for under $40!
