Hello and thanks for your time, I have three ideas for painting my garage doors. The goal is to tie in the color of the fence off to the right of the house and balance out the warmer color pavers on driveway. Also to take away the brightness of the original color of the garage doors (cream-ivory). An explanation of your choice would be useful too! Looking for your opinion and anything else you may want to comment on or suggest! :) thank for your ideas.

Hi all... I am new to the forum and no better way to start out than sharing my garage door opener woes.... and by requesting a little friendly advice... [U]A bit of preliminary info:[/U] -- Opener: Liftmaster 1/3 HP Model 1250LM -- Remotes: 81LM (I have two of these remotes) -- The opener and the remotes were manufactured in 1997 (based on tags on the items). -- The opener is plugged in and has power to it. -- Both remotes have new batteries installed. [U]Issue:[/U] When I would leave for work in the morning, I would open the garage door with the wall mounted push button and I would attempt to close the door with the remote… the remote did not work and I’d have to close the door with the wall mounted push button. When I arrived home in the late afternoon, the remote would open the door but then it would not close the door… I’d have to use the wall mounted push button. I have tried the remote first thing in the morning and it will open the garage door... but then will not close the garage door?!? After dealing with this issue now for over a week, it "appears to me" that the remote is only good for a single use within a limited time frame..... if the remote was used or if the wall mounted push button was used, the remote then appears not to work for an unknown amount of time. The wall mounted push button appears to work without issue, all of the time. I have tried both remotes… same issue with both… and I have installed new batteries in both remotes… same issue. I have held the remote within a few inches of the opener… same issue. And again, the wall mounted push button always seems to work o.k. As such, I did the following per the user manual: -- Erased all codes the remote by holding smart button in until the LED (D12) goes out (picture attached). -- Attempted to “add/reprogram” the remote by holding in remote push button and pressing smart button...… the LED flashes when I hold the remote push button and when I press the smart button, the LED stays on solid for about 1 minute then turns off.… this does not match what the manual states.... manual states [I]"hold remote push button in and then press the smart button... the LED will flash once... then release the remote push button".[/I] Now when I push remote, the LED will come on with the remote push button pushed and garage door still does not open. After opening the garage door with the wall mounted push button… I then press remote push button and I cannot see the LED turning on when pressing the remote push button?! On a side note, I also have noticed an area of melted plastic near the bulb located on the side opposite of the smart button (picture attached). The melted area is very close to the bulb so I do not know if it was due to the bulb itself or something else. This bulb was newly replaced but is only turning on intermittently. Could the issue be with the receiver/logic board?? Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated…… or is there more information I can provide? Thank you in advance…. :confused:
