Painting wooden threshold of front door - what type of paint do I need?

[JessicaRebeccaRabbit]

Hi there,

I need to paint the wooden threshold of my front door, which is very worn and sad looking. What type of paint do I need for this please? I don't want to do the rest of the door just now, as it looks ok (obviously I will probably need to do it when the threshold looks great though!). Oh and it needs to be white.
Thanks

Some sort of outdoor gloss paint - dulux weathershield or similar. You'll probably need undercoat too, but normal undercoat should be fine.

Thanks Mamababa, will get those

You will be disappointed with white, because it will constantly get dirty, scuffed and chipped.

A dark brown or black will do. However many front door frames have a hardwood sill that can be sanded and stained and can look very good.

You might also consider a brass, copper or stainless threshold. Look for one the shape of your sill.

here we are

It cropped up once before

Many thanks, will look into those options
