    with inside paint? It is not exposed to the elements other than to the sun thru the glass storm door.

    I re-painted my livingroom and have nothing to paint with the previous color. Since the brick on the fireplace wall is the same color as the brick outside, I thought the front door might look good in that color.

    THANKS,
    Rita

    why not just have a quart of exterior paint mixed in the same color. Even though you have a storm door, int. paint is not made to withstand temp./moisture flux conditions you'll get in Ohio even with the storm door, plus its probably painted now with an ext. paint and I wouldn't put int. latex over that. You'll only be out a few bucks.

    THANKS, I was just trying to use some paint that I'll have no further use for since I've changed the color in my livingroom.

    I may just give it a try and if I REALLY like the door this color, I'll get exterior paint for the next go round.

    THANKS again.
