My garage door has been red for ages but all the neighbours' are white.
It is starting to show its age, and needs repainting; perhaps now is the
time to change the colour and blend in.

What paint should I use to cover the red - are there any special
tricks I should be aware of? It is an up-and-over type.

If metal, I would suggest a thorough clean off, sanding, clean off again and
Hammerite. One coat should do the job.
