begged Zach to fly out from FL to CA to do my garage... LOL! another happy customer... looks excellent! neighbor's are all asking about it. love the fact that you're hiring Zach as an artist. This has lower maintenance than real wood door as wood can warp, fade as it age. thanks again for the quality work Zach!
Just a minor critique; as I do faux wood-grain finishing also. I always make the grain of the vertical and horizontal stiles the same direction as the stile itself. I also separately wood grain each individual panel. This makes for a more authentic look as it has been assembled, not carved from a solid piece of wood. It does look nice though, and apparently you have satisfied customers.
"...not carved from a solid piece of wood." I was thinking about that, thank you for comment about separately painting each panel. I agree that your process would be preferable to me, but most people probably wouldn't even notice. I'm sure the overall effect is gorgeous either way.
there are 3 different methods of completing the faux look. most garage doors don't look like kitchen cabinets (too expensive if they do {for the general public}), this is a metal door, essentially, with a Faux wood finish, this is an excellent technique, as seen from the road, and passers by wouldn't know the difference. I believe the proprietor of the technique mentioned the reasoning for the techniques early in the video. pay closer attention slope-head aristocrat! this is the artists rendition, experience driven, & I think it is brilliant. It's easy to "Madden" the concept, isn't it. arm-chair-QB!
@@patrickholcomb9628 why so ugly patrick, he is right to do each panel separate and stay with vertical stiles...50 years experience in woodworking and carpentry, so no armchair-QB
Nice work Zach! , I hope getting paid well for your talents. As an artist for 23 years in SoFla I would like to chat for a minute over prices as I'm not wanted to undercut anyone, including myself. keep it up!
What makes this guy think all the wooden components run in the same direction ,I couldn't believe what I was watching , obviously a non thinker. Would you install interior doors upside down and pass them off as being correct ?
You do very nice work!! I'm going to try this on my garage door. What I need to know is: What color & type of paint (oil base, latex, etc) to use as the base coat. I also need to know what product and color to use over that. I'd like the same colors you've used here. Please help!
Thanks Zach. After watching you have giving me the courage to try it myself. Read a few things on products , any more suggestions? Oil base or no oil base? Spar Urethane mixed in? Also Your colors are fantastic, will share???
Ron Mogab I did that type of work in 1997 and I use látex semigloss same color, and gel stain two colors ( first stain coat is the color he use and the second little more darker and I use graining tool, you can find in Home Depot, is really fun do this type of work. Ah the gel stain you can buy in Kelly Moore or Benjamin Moore, good luck.
@@ronmogab1799 I like to use exterior satin finish paint for the base, richmond bisque is a good color if you want to go with an oak finish, and I also use old masters gel stain with both a grain tool and a throw away brush, works well to mimic the wood grain. Apply 2 clear coats of polyurethane or oil base clear
great video the dud needed to have done this alone with the camera , Artis don't like people around them when they are to be one with their muse, the source of inspiration to any of the ARTS. not to mention that this dud was trying to keep his technique and process perhaps a secret, you know like a magician trying to keep his trick a secret . i know she probably din't mean any harm ..
question, I have to replace one panel but is coming in white. My actual color is a soft green. do I have to change the white panel in soft green and then start painting with brown??
hey Zach----Ive been a painter for many years is this some sort of gel stain? reason I'm asking---is I'm thinking if I cant afford to freshen up woodgrain on my jeep wagoneer---I can atleast make it look better like this ...you mind sharing with me what youre using or what you think would be good option for me?
Hi Jeannie These are the products I used to woodgrain garage doors. Benjamin Moore water base exterior satin ultras spec The glaze I use is faux cream from Faux Effects. The colorants are golden acrylic and faux effects trans oxide brown Hope this helps Zach Sent from my iPhone
This is a fast way to do it. but if you want to do it right you should of masked each piece and grained it in the proper direction. for instance the panels are ok but the 1x4 stiles wood be grained a different direction. but i guess this is fast.
Zach, just realized you could be one of the Bridges brothers. Help! I'm doing my first professional gig and I can't find exterior glazes in Gallon sizes. You once told me what you use (it's from Europe?). Can you tell me again? Thanks, Happy New Year.

Yes, you do need to put a yellow or a dark brownish orange primer for a basecoat. If you want it to look like wood the only time you could go over gray is if you’re trying to do like a Driftwood color and then the glaze Hass to be gray as well.

Some pointers.....not sure if you are selling your skills to get customers, or sharing for others to copy your technique. I would be good to know the breakdown of the colors, such as base color and type of paint, glaze/gel color, plus, your commentator should know their info too. They can inform customers while we watch your technique. Plus, why would you not show the finished result? All this time watching and we don't get to see the final....super sad!
Because the grain texture embossed in the door is completely horizontal . When you go vertical with the glaze the horizontal door texture shows through
Don't get me wrong here, but I find this guy's honesty and willingness to discuss his trade endearing. Good show, Zach.

Also some doors have the grain embossed into it. Which all runs the same direction.
Would this same technique work on plastic? I want to create a grey woodgrain effect in my vehicle.

Dude, you are talented!
Would be great if the lady behind the camera would shut it.
Talking about flowers and crap?
I was skeptical at the beginning but man that looks great. Nice job.
Josh Mallett thank you!!

Why didn't you show it all finished?
Beautiful technique, excellent work, thank you for your time, experience, wisdom and knowledge sir.
Well done.
This looks great, but I am disappointed that I can't see the finished product! It cuts off too fast.
Very cool stuff Zach! Good work.

Great wood polish work very nice video
Obviously doesn’t know how wood panels are assembled. Stiles and panes are separate, grain would not be continuous.
Man good job she is a great client also 👍
Beautiful work. what is the glazing product? Can you apply this glaze over polyeurethane? Thanks
This dude is a Legend!
amazing work ..i was wondering what is the glaze product ? and what is working time?
Still on top of the heap! King of faux!

I'm going to do this with gel stain. See videos using that technique.
Will be calling for a quote soon!
Nice work! Have you tried Stainable Primer as your base? It gives you a real wood base to work with.
Thanks Zach. After watching you have giving me the courage to try it myself. Read a few things on products , any more suggestions? Oil base or no oil base? Spar Urethane mixed in? Also Your colors are fantastic, will share???
Can you do this process over an already painted garage door? The color of our door already is a camel brown. I love this look!!!
Thanks a lot Antoni ,i didn't know the way to set up the subtitles ....ευχαριστώ πολύ ,νάσαι καλά .
Are you willing to share what products & colors you used?
Painting in a white shirt, now that’s confident
Good video !!!
What type of paint are you using for the darker color? Is it oilbase?
Would you go back in 20 years to do a lil touch up? Maybe in 30 to put a clear coat
Very nice sir
Great job!
you should start with the top panel and work yoourself down, that way you don't have to worry about dripping glaze over what you just did
Could you tell us what products you use for the base, stain and top coat. Thanks.

Z Please tell me the secret of the color glaze !
No, it's glaze and tints
you use gel stain for the glaze.
Mike F gel stain and glaze are two different things, I think he said his using glaze by poly, usually comes clear and has to be tinted

why not paint the vertical beams in a vertical grain pattern like a real door?
Because the grain texture embossed in the door is completely horizontal . When you go vertical with the glaze the horizontal door texture shows through
that makes sense. thanks for the reply.
