Johnchip on Sep 28, 2015Yes, anything can be painted. Exterior items need careful attention to the proper prepping, priming and paint type selection, but can last forever. Do not skimp on quality, cost or colour selection. Take your time. Remember, a couple times, every day and night this is the first and last thing you and all guests will see coming and going from your home.Helpful Reply

Z on Sep 28, 2015Sharon, I also replied to your first question, so I know you mean that you want to paint both your steel entry door and your storm door at the same time. This would not be advisable unless you can remove them and use a temporary entry door or your home would be open to an varmint, animal or otherwise, to walk right in while the doors are open drying.Helpful Reply

Linda Owens on Sep 29, 2015Yes, you can paint your storm door. Tape off glass, and spray with metal paint. Mine looks great with red paint. My son used a spray paint gun with red primer for metal.Helpful Reply
