Exterior Door Advice

[chrisr100]

My front door is about 14 years old - I treated it when new with the product recommended by the manufacture, I think it was called Lasutech???? It came in 2 tins, you applied the bottom coat an then applied the top coat every 3 - 4 years. The door needs repainted and I cannot find this stuff anywhere, does anyone know of a suitable alternative.

Door is looking a bit grotty and I was thinking of painting it white any suggestions on what paint to use over the current coating and preparation etc? I have some breathable ranch paint and was thinking of just giving it a rub down and painting or would I need primer.

Thanks

i would sand back and oil base prime ,undercoat x2 glossx2 sanding between coats.you say you have some breathabell paint(microporous)if it wasnt coated with breathable paint in the first place it shouldnt make a difference using dulux undercaot and gloss
