Refinishing a Fiberglass exterior door

[dennis thompson]

Our fiberglass front door is 13 years old and needs to be refinished. I'm thinking an exterior stain followed by an exterior polyurethane.
Does this process seem OK ? If not what would you recommend?
Does anyone have any recommendations on particular brands of stain and polyurethane I should use?
Note that the door is on the front porch and not subject to too much sun or weather.



Thanks

If it's fiberglass, why not just use a high quality exterior paint from SW or BM, etc.? Most "Polys" are not really great for exterior conditions, BTW.

General Finishes Exterior 450 WB Stains and Poly may be a good combination for you. Not sure about the stains, however, over fiberglass unless you can spray. I'd give GF a call to find out.

I refiinished my front door (fiberglass) 14 yrs ago, using gel stain to give an aged wood look. I used epiphanes marine varnish over that. Epiphanes will give multiple years protection. If you stain I Highly recommend Epiphanes over that. Not sure how well it would work over paint.
