Finishes & Colors
Benchmark is a paint-grade composite garage door that comes factory primed for your convenience. You can learn more about your finish options below.
Benchmark and Benchmark 2 Finishing Options

- Purchase a factory paint finish in the color of your choice.
Any Benchmark door that is primed only before leaving our factory must be field-finished on all six sides before installation in order to maintain the warranty.
