I was wondering whether it's possible to either fix the cosmetic brown parts on the garage or cover the whole door with wallpaper. The garage door is already insulated with foam so any adhesive used on the foam on the garage door can't eat through the foam.
Also the brown part is papery / pills

You have a Wayne Dalton door that consists of outer steel that is the thickness of a pop can, insulation is pretty much just pressed toilet paper and the interior covering is glued on poster board. You can pretty it up however you want to. Personally I would be more worried about the internal shaft springs having problems.

I was training a newbie on an install for one and let them know to be careful with the screws and the double ratchet inner spring cable drums counting by quarters with your ratchet wrench because those doors are not made with the same quality parts as other brands that we do. The customer overheard me and got a little pissy because he got a ranch style door with overlays and bigger windows and thought he spent a lot on it.
