I have a red front door that the paint has chipped off badly. I am looking for an easy fix that will look okay, since I am not good with tools. Thanks
I use and sell chalk based paint. Your finished surface will not be any smoother after use than it was before use. No matter whether you use latex or outdoor paint or chalk based paint, you will have to sand the crackle finish off to get a smooth finish. I use and recommend Heirloom Traditions products. There is a sealant for outdoor use that i would use for this project. I have to admit it smells awful just like the polyurethane stuff you get at the hardware store though.

Chalk Paint won't stand up to the weather, go for painting over with something that is darker, maybe Racing Green or Navy or even Black. Embrace the finish you have, otherwise you will hve a lot of work on your hands to get it smooth again.
Somewhat depends on the weather in your area. Chalk paint isn't as weather hardy as regular paint.
