If your clients are interested in adding custom garage doors to their homes and want to shake things up a bit, color is the perfect place to start!
Looking for a specific color not found within our handcrafted garage door paint or stain options? Fear not! Timberlane can perfectly replicate any desired finish. Simply send in a color chip or swatch, we’ll then duplicate and send out two samples for approval.
Custom Color Process
Mixing a custom color just right can take a bit longer because we’re committed to getting it right the first time. The process of formulating unique combinations of specialty bases and pigments takes time to perfect, so be sure to account for added time in your production schedule. To begin the process once your order is placed, send us a color swatch. We do request that the size be substantial enough for the matching process (i.e. 3” x 3”, 6” x 3” or larger).TIP: If possible, please send 2 swatches.
Step 1: Color Mixing
Once we receive the swatch, we send it to our color mixing experts. The base color is then adjusted manually by developing the exact balance of pigment colors until the color match sample is correct. This process is long and exacting as the color must be reviewed in all light settings after the paint is dried. When the color matching is complete, two sample blocks of the exact material type that your garage door project calls for are finished and sent back to us for our review.Step 2: Color Approval
We then ship the color sample block and a portion of your original swatch back to you for your own review and approval. If you are not 100% happy with the color matching, simply send the pieces back to us and we will re-work the match process.Note: Our process timeline includes a 24-hour turn around for your review and approval. If additional time is needed it will add additional days to this stage of the timeline.
