   Dear codyspop,

   If the retailer who sold you the door can't offer any good advice, try the manufacturer. See what's on the Therma Tru web site. Or, you could post your question in the forum for our companion publication, Fine Homebuilding. Here's the link:

   I work for Epic Doors which manufactures high-performance fiberglass entry doors. We evaluated several paint suppliers including TruCoat 623, Sherwin Williams Polane 2K Acrylic, and Aquasurtech D200.

   We were looking for an environmentally friendly, single component water based paint that was super durable, had great adhesion and laid down smooth.

   Based upon our evaluation we selected TruCoat 623. It was much more environmentally friendly than Polane 2K and is a single component and https://TruCoat.Us had better adhesion than D200 and was priced better.

   I did exactly what you are planning to do. I used a Sherwin-Williams gel stain. I readily admit the application process was difficult for me. Maybe because this was my first encounter with gel stain. Since the fiberglas door, I used gel stain on a steel door. Both doors received multi-coats of Sherwin-Williams exterior poly. After 10 years the poly on both doors still looks okay.
