I've just used some of this. Great to work with, quick drying and looks good. Don't know how long it will last though!

Thanks. You have the same door as me! Will get done ordered.
You won’t regret it. One of the easiest paints to work with which needs no primer or undercoat. I just gave the door a very light sanding (took all of 10 minutes), brushed off the dust and gave it the first coat. It covered really well, but the second coat brought out a great finish. Work quickly but don’t put it on too thick. I used the satin finish but gloss is available. If you go to a decorators’ merchant you can get it tinted to any colour too.
Good luck
