My garage door is painted, pressed wood with a wood grain surface. It actually feels like a raised grain. What product or color choice should I use to make this surface look like a varnished, real wood surface?

Find some type of dark antique paint. Maybe a walnut or mahagony. Water it down a bit so it's looks like coffee. Paint a small section of your garage so it soaks into the grain of the wood and wipe off or rub off the excess. Repeat process until all the door is uniformly covered. Then seal with a clear/weatherproof varnish.

I use to be the paint manager at home depot and a faux finish would do great, on Saturday at The Home Depot the will have free how to classes on this subject, i would teach these classes and they are so easy, cost is a little more for the product but not bad at all
