if i was burning off i would just do the whole door as it would not take much time to do. you would then sand down and as i prefer start again on the bare timber with a microporus paint system to let the wood breath (applying knotting to all knots). don't forget to fill all splits and cracks with a decent wood filler. i would recommend cuprinol 2 part filler for this.
that is my advice any way. hope this is useful.

Well the paint system does not look very healthy and there also appears to be water staining present, so seeing that the heat gun is to hand I think you would be best advised to strip, if you wish to take the advice regarding the Dulux then that will be your decision.

i am aware that not everyone will agree on the dulux paint system as preference will prevail. could you recommend your preferred paint system so that the op has more choice? and if anyone else has a preferred system that could benefit this post.

You upsetting people again elrobbo?

strip it, fill it, apply knotting along with an aliminium primer.

that will suffice for the priming but you seem to have missed the rest of the paint system. what would you recommend for undercoat and top coat? why knot with aluminum primer?

i assure you that i am not trying to upset anybody and am deeply sorry if i have as it is not my intention.

Well you have already had a suggested system given by dcdec, and in answer to your question if the op required one then the answer would be yes. Once I had determined what his intentions were and what finish he would require, as far as you are concerned then the answer would be no.

Your welcome but just a little word of advice. Don't test people that know what they're talking about it gets backs up, suggest alternatives, debate the pro's and con's and agree to disagree.

the paint to me looks so thin i would assume it has been stripped
it looks like a maximum 3 layers to me so no more than 5 to 10 years old
but i could be wrong
