For paint finishes, choose one colour for the face of the door and another colour for the back of the door. This allows you to complement the style of the interior of your home. Paint finish can be applied to steel, fibreglass and wood doors. 6 Enhance Your Curb Appeal With Finishing Touches Once your door is installed and painted or stained, you can personalize it with trim, hardware and other front-entrance accessories to increase your home's curb appeal.
