I would think the high temp stuff would work..

Maybe just strip off the old stuf them sand the surface before applying..

Did you use a primer also??

i would too...

was thinking about sanding it really good... but didnt wanna do it if it was just gonna happen again... like wasted effort ya know...

cant remember if dad did our not.... i know we still got the color cans downstairs from when he did it.. (youd be surprised how hard it is to get matching white color paint even with the same color code on them...) you can literally take a finger nail atm and chip it off... course a razors faster lol...

maybe we'll get a couple nice days back to back and ill be able to get the door cleaned off and try painting it... dont wanna do it on a really hot day or cold day and have the ac/heat pump running non-stop.. lol..

Sounds like a plan, but don't forget the primer... That is a must to get good adhesion..

I don't know if it matters if it's high temp... I would just use a metal primer..

I like to have 2 per year.. One in the spring and the other if the fall..

It gives me a chance to reorganize the junk in the garage..
