How do I paint a steel exterior door?

Yes, you must have temperatures between 50 and 90 to paint. Wait until spring. Thoroughly clean the surface. If it has a glossy finish sand it slightly to remove the gloss and make tiny scratches for the new paint to adhere to. Use an exterior paint made for metal. The best paint job could be done by a shop that paints cars. That will last for years without fading.

Wendy, .You need an exterior metal primer, then exterior paint for metal. If you have any rust or old paint use metal sandpaper. It's best to roll it on to avoid brush strokes, use two coats. Aloha!
