Really want to do mine. Am thinking mint green or deep green. Or maybe pink?!

I don't know! Looking for inspiration and paint recommendations

I painted mine about 3 years ago using this

The ‘intelligent exterior eggshell’ one.
I sanded the door the bare minimum and did lots of thin coats. I needs another coat this year as I’ve scratched it taking bikes in and out 🙄

Not doing pics as outing but I used Dulux weathershield very successfully in a purple shade that is very like the Mumsnet app purple and it looks tremendous and two years in seems very hard-wearing and still looks new.

I absolutely hate purple! It's my least favourite colour.

Nothing in that tickles my fancy.

Keep looking at deep teals then pinks.

And gold hardware.

I painted my front door dark blue a couple of years ago.
It wasn't really my choice of colour, but I was offered the remainder of a paint pot from someone who did theirs, and ours did need doing badly.

I also painted a design on our garage door (dh hates it, but as he doesn't really do painting can't complain) because no one can find our house so being able to say go up X road and we're the one with the pink stripe across the garage door has made things much easier.

Mine has been sage green for about 5 years. Plan to paint it a smudgy purple this year

I really want a yellow front door. So cheery! DH isn’t keen tho.

My front door is pebble grey. It's a soft sage colour. The picture I've posted is not my door but it is the same colour.

Fair enough! Dulux weathershield does a huge range of colours, I can vouch for it being easy to use and looking good and lasting.

My front door is currently a faded red (south facing) and I am planning on painting it a sunny yellow. I think it's a happy colour and hopefully it won't be as noticeable if it does fade
