I have to paint my back door this week it is a fiberglass wood look alike and gets a lot of direct sunlight. We stained it the first time and it didn't last long with the strong afternoon sun so this time we plan of painting it red. My question is which would stand up to the UV rays and last the longest before fading, exterior latex or oil based paint?
Whatever a 7x57 can do a 270 can do better.

First, red is the worst color for fading, that said I would use an oil based paint myself.

Paint it a light color, especially if you have a glass storm door in front of it, heat buildup can be hard on the paint.

A fiberglass door is gonna grow and shrink a ton, I would think a latex base would be the choice. I painted my fence with oil based paint and the house with latex, the house is holding up better.
I would not buy something that runs on any kind of primer given the possibility of primer shortages and even regulations. In fact, why not buy a flintlock? Really. Rocks aren't going away anytime soon.

Was the stain oil based? Latex might need a primer to stick.
