I'm not really up to date with paints, I just do the painting, I never buy the paint.

At an uneducated guess (but clearly more educated than some) I'd expect it would be worth it in the long run...

What he is referring to mate, is that a powder coated garage door by it's very nature will be pressed metal.

at the very least you will need to remove the gloss from the powder coat.
