right when i eventually get my doors and front painted i'm going to be working all around it in a tight garage, which means brushing past it everytime i need to get to the other end! So is there something available i can 'stick' onto the new paint like new cars have when there being transported?

Thanks.

Mark.

No, you just want to leave the paint to harden open aired.

Your just gonna have to be oober careful.

Grab a cotton dust sheet from B+Q or similar and drape it over the door, and close the door so the sheet is wrapped round it and jammed in the door..

will offer a little protection and still let the paint breath.

Other thing you can do is after a couple weeks (let solvents evapourate) wax it using carnuba wax , it is a really hard wax that will give some protection..

have a look on ebay and you should be able to find some..

Lined cotton dust covers are probably the safest bet

don't wax fresh paint! it traps the solvents that are otherwise still escaping and can damage/harm the finish.
