Thank you so much for taking the time to reply! Also thank you for the tips on painting the storm door! I think it’s a great idea to spray paint it.

Oh yes, I totally understand that, Becky!! lol
Okay, so the storm door that was here previously was cream-colored and I painted it black. It actually lasted for YEARS. But I have no idea what I used as it was over 15 years ago now. (I think we might have taken it down and spray painted it.)
But after all those years it was time to be replaced so no, this current door is not painted, it is brand new.

If you paint yours, I think spray painting it would be your best bet if you can. I would lightly sand it to rough it up a bit, clean it VERY well, and then spray with primer and then use a very good spray paint for exterior/metal, etc.
Good luck! :)

I stripped my door last fall, & winter came early in Oklahoma. Needles to say, that project got put on the back burner because then the hot days of summer came upon us. It’s fall again & I want to finish my door. I had bought the paint but I also changed my mind on the color lol lol. What’s a girl to do.?? My question is; I think I see you have a storm door, if so, did you also paint that and with what paint? And do you have any tips on painting metal?

I just reread my comment and saw that “nice” auto-corrected to “jive”, lol, so hope you don’t mind that I thought your door looked jive with the sidelines!😂😂😂

Thank you, that’s very helpful! I may need to send you a before and after pic, as it will be a pretty dramatic one!

Thank you, Kathy! Yes, I feel the same way about satin! Oh, I just used one of those 3m strips/white plastic hanger things. It’s staying very well so far! I usually just hang my outside things (or mirror) on the storm door with fishing line because there is a little hook/knob thing in the middle at the top of the other side that I can loop it on. Easy! Either way works. :) xo

Oh, and I am editing my post to include info I forgot to mention. If you suspect you have oil based paint on your doors (or know you do) you will want to use a primer beforehand. Something such as Zinsser water based primer. :)

Thanks, Vicki!! I would sand all the chips out to smooth and use something like Zinsser water-based primer beforehand. You’ll especially want to do that if you suspect it’s oil-based. I meant to mention that in my post, I’m going to edit to include that info)
I wouldn’t spray paint, it will be sticky (or stickier). I promise you, from my experience with both, this paint is MUCH easier than spray paint to use for a door like this. And way quicker drying time. :) xo
