Steel entry door

Just purchased a new steel entry door from Lowes and was wondering what the easiest way to paint it would be. My father-in-law has one of those wagner paint sprayers and was thinking that would be the easiest, best looking way to paint it. But I heard the clean up with those things takes longer than the actual project!?!
Also what type of paint might I use in this application??? The door will recieve full, all day direct sun light.

Thanks for any help!!!

The manufacturers generally advise latex paint for steel doors.

Which one is better? Fundamentally, if both doors are made with the exact materials and craftsmanship, which type of architecture is the better preformer? In regards to environment shielding, wear-n-tear, strength??? My guess is that swinging doors are better because of the mechanics. Am I wrong?Read More
