Door job

I painted my front door today. I figured this might be the last day
for a while that I could have the A/C off. I had to take the door out
into the driveway, strip it down top bare metal, prime and a few top
coats.
Using a cup brush on my big grinder made stripping it not a horrible
job, just messy.
It came out pretty good. I just got it hung and put the hardware back
on. I shot it with rattle cans, 2 cans of primer and 4 cans of paint,
using "appliance epoxy". I am not sure how they can call a one part
paint epoxy but it is what it is. I have used it on other things and
it is pretty tough.
Pictures? I redid out oak front door, after looking at prices for new ones. Came out pretty good,
but there was too much weathering on the bottom for a good finish. Put a brass kick plate on it.
Looks almost like new - or at least close enough my wife's not complaining about it anymore. I
couldn't believe how much new doors cost.
