paint effect for front door  

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
My parents gave me an amazing doorknocker for my front door and I wanted to paint my door before I put it up, to make it more inline with the feel of the doorknocker.

The doorknocker is dark metal, heavy, kind of gothic looking (really just that it's heavy and dark and metal) and is a face. It does not look like this one, but has a similar feel: http://cgi.ebay.com/Large-Brass-door...sid=p1638.m118

Right now my door is white, no glass, just a six panel metal exterior door painted white on a house that is barn red with white trim. It's kind of a country look, so I need to do something that will look good with the doorknocker without clashing with the red house!

Any one have any ideas for me? I thought maybe something that just made the door look slightly aged or more old fashioned . . .

I wish I did have some good ideas for you! Often at paint stores they'll have fliers or brochures with paint effects, and directions on what to buy in order to achieve the effect.
