Wtf dude, take $30 and go to home Depot and ask them what you need. That's like 30 minutes of work.
$30 wouldn't cover the paint. Painting a front door AND doing a decent job is not as easy as most of y'all are saying it is. If it was, i'd do it myself. It's going to need to be sanded, primed with a tinted primer (b/c of the red), high quality paint that will require at least 3 coats and hopefully self level to eliminate brush strokes. Like I said, red is a pain in the arse and I want it to look good.
Guess I'll start calling painters for quotes.

Agreed. With painting, it is usually better to hire someone. I recently painted a room in my house, and I thought it looked great. For the first day.
Now it seems like I'm always finding a spot here or a spot there that I hate and it bugs me. The walls didn't soak in the paint like I thought they would. Tiny white specks are visible in some places.
Wish I would've paid someone else to do it.
Don't let the pompous OT attitudes get to you.

It's a tiny job, no good painter will show up to do it

1. It doesn't take 3 coats of paint if you go with a good quality paint.
2. It's not hard to do a good job without showing brush strokes to excess.
3. We're talking about painting a door. If you can't figure how to do that and do a good job, you're a retard.
4. The red door thing is so overplayed these days.
