I want to paint my 7' x 18' metal garage door. It's factory finish is white enamel. Going to paint it the same color.

While I've painted a lot of interior surfaces, never a metal garage door.

Questions:

OK to use a roller - figured a 3/8" nap?
When I roller - how do you handle the horizontal juncture of the panels?
I was going to also paint the trim and vinyl weather strip with a brush.

Lastly, what kind of exterior paint? I was thinking semi-gloss. Latex?

Ben Moore or Sherwin Williams?
