Can I paint a metal screen door?

You don't have to use a spray paint. Rustoleum makes a metal paint in a can. I think it comes in brinck red too. I saw it at Menards. I would personally get a good primer and prime both items with a primer meant for the metal (wouldn't hurt to use it over the wood as well) and then get a good outdoor paint mixed up in whatever color you want and paint both doors with the one gallon of paint. Make sure you scuff sand the door before you paint it so the paint adheres well. Just use 220 sandpaper or even a green scotchbrite pad would work. The paint people probably wouldn't be able to match a spray paint anyway. They might be able to come close,a dn then there is also the fact that your color choices are so limited...  more
