You need to consider your color combination.
A red door surrounded by that nice blue sounds bad.
You need some white to go with that blue, imo.

The nice "accent" doors you've seen were not with blue frames.

You already have a decent red on the outside of your door.
That's your accent door. Same color on dormer above.
That looks good with the white trim and reddish brick
on your house.


> Have some paint cleaning uop to do first, on the stained glass! Sloppy painting on my part! :-( I will get it cleaned off! I have wire brushes!

Don't use a wire brush, for God's sake. It won't clean your
edges but it will scratch the hell out your stained glass.
Main use for a wire brush is to clean the stock of your
paint brushes.

Use single edge razor blades. For each edge, first use the corner
to cut the corner right where the glass meets the wood. Then use
the flat of the blade to scrape paint off the glass.

I would probably use 3-4 blades for that...keep a sharp one.

Opps...that's stained glass not smooth glass. This will be a
very time consuming job to remove that paint. That's something
you should have not taped and just painted very slowly and
carefully and NOT gotten any paint on it in the first place.
Live and learn.
