Renovating an external door

[RookieTony]

Hello DIYNot members!

I would like to give the external door I have a new coat of paint, but I am not sure of what material it is made of: it looks like painted metal to me:

What type of door could it be, and what paiting options are available for it?

Thank you in advance!

Need some more pics, include some looking at the edges.

Hello, thank you for getting back to me! Here are some more pictures of the door

It's a composite door, https://www.diynot.com/diy/search/590223/?q=Painting+composite&o=relevance

Thank you for your prompt response! I have just googled "composite" and I most composite doors that I saw in my brief search had UPVC cover.
Mine, however, appears to reveal metal of some sort in places where the paint is coming off.

I took a magnet and it sticks to both inside and outside of the door! Is it still called 'composite'? What is the procedure for paining such a metal door?

I have followed your link and the first result reveals something with a wood texture, saying it's a composite door

Mine isn't the same, is it?

It's a steel faced door possibly made by IG doors, should say on the hinges

It must be one of them, thank you! There was nothing written on hinges, but it's great to know where these doors come from
