If you are asking about painting the screen mesh itself, I don't see how that would work without clogging the tiny openings in the screen mesh. This would not only block a substantial portion of the air flow from passing through the screen but would also block a substantial portion of your view when looking out through the screen.

Additionally, as mentioned above, the screen material needs to be flexible so that it can move as the wind blows against the screen. I would think that the added paint would dry on the screen and NOT be flexible.

Your best bet might be to see if you can sell your existing garage screen door at a reasonable price and then add some money to what you get from the sale and buy a new one that's made the way you want. Sometimes, attempts to adapt something for a use that it was never intended for simply ruins that thing for ANY use.
