Any suggestions? Can I get some weather stripping and nailed it along the bottom to cover up the sanded off area? Or does that not going to work? |
Won’t a small colour difference be less visible than an obvious piece of oddly installed trim/weatherstrip? It’s white, on the bottom of a faux wood garage door; Feather it out with a brush, hit it with a scotch pad if it’s too shiny afterwards and call it a day? You also don’t want a cavity where water can drip down and get trapped behind.
Also, for cleaning up the rust, you could try some Muriatic acid for a real quick and through rust removal. Rinse it off after and you’re pretty well ready for prime/paint.
