Part of the process of staining a garage door to look like wood is using brush strokes to allow the base color to come through just a little to give it that woodgrain look.
Be sure to check out the faux wood doors if you are shopping for new garage doors.
If the door has raised panels apply the paint in the direction you prefer for the faux wood grain this way any visible brush strokes add to the grain effect.
Most neutral colors would work great for this but if you ve got a bright or bold garage door color you may consider painting it neutral before adding the gel stain.
