Hi Carol,
I painted our with primer and an outdoor latex paint.. First I did the outside. I raised the door to do the bottom levels and used a ladder to reach the top levels. Then I did the inside in the same manner. I used a brush around the edges and a roller on the flat parts. I also filled in any holes that I found ( it was an old door) and masked off any metal parts from the hinges on the inside so I didn't get them messed up. I hope this helps. Wishing you the best.
The needs to be partially open so you can get the top few edges. Also the side weatherstripping should be removed. Clean and repaint.
Hi Carol, you can roll or spray the paint on, I prefer the roll on as it is less masking to do, the trick is using the right paint for the material, metal or wood
