Best Answer

I'll suggest the best paint for a cellar door (interior or exterior) would be an oil base enamel. Before applying ensure that the doors are free of rust and peeling and rough up the old surface with a strong wire brush or coarse grit emery sandpaper. If you have cause to suspect the prior paint was a latex do not apply the oil base paint directly. You must first apply a primer. A roller will do a better job than a brush. Or you may use a spray paint.

An oil base paint will serve you best to provide protection against any dampness and possible rust.

Are there special paints for metal doors?

A good, high quality latex paint will work for metal doors. If the door has an existing layer of paint, it should be sanded & cleaned well before applying a new coat. In the case of an aluminum door, it must be lightly sanded and stripped with an acid etch (wash primer) available at many finer harware stores.

Do you mean oil-based paint? If so, the answer is yes. All doors, window frames, kitchens and bath areas should always be painted with oil-based paint. Reason: They get dirtier than walls and oil-based paint is an easier clean-up.
