there is paint specifically formulated for metal that you can purchase...the trick is to ensure that the ambiant temperature is correct (according to the label instructions) and you allow the paint to cure sufficiently...other than that, paint as you would anything else
I agree with Holly, but would add that you need to clean your door thoroughly with TSP or something similar to dull the shine and then I'd prime it first with a good primer to make sure the paint adheres. Do not close the door until it is thoroughly dry!!
