+5
I have a steel door that was finished in a metallic silver paint at the factory it's coming time to paint it again what kind of prep would I need to do? What kind of paint would I use to repaint?
Ask at the store where you bought it.
I bought it from Home Depot and they know nothing!
It's a metal door so you have to treat it the way I did just like something else metal like a farm implement I went to TSC and bought 2 spray cans of tractor paint of the color that I wanted (red) and it turned out great and has held up like no other and that was over 10years now .
As far as the prep goes just make sure it is cleaned first just not with soap it will leave a film.
When I got my metal door they had primered painted it. All I had to do is paint with my colour wanted to finish. Primer I would use would be 1-2-3.
Rustoleum makes paint for doors !
spray is your best bet. You don’t want to leave brush marks
Use rustoleum. They have it for metal and have primer in it. Rustoleum for everything!! Clean the door first with like a fantastic or something like that. I use mr clean and water for pretty much everything. Just some in a bucket with water and a rag. Easy peasy!!
