    Make sure the surface to be painted is clean and dry and scuffed a bit with fine sandpaper. Then use Rustoleum Oil-Based Paint in your choice of color. It will cover well and last for eons!

    I cleaned the door well then roughed it up with some with sandpaper and used a combo primer/latex paint. It took several coats but held up well

    Not difficult if you buy the correct paint and primer for the metal the door is - Alluminium/Steel etc.
