I've got a metal clamshell type basement entry door in need of
maintenance. To start with I need to strip off two layers of paint.

As this entry is away from plants and woodwork I'm curious what would be
the preferred method to deal with this?



If it painlessly unbolts, I'd take advantage of the waning days of
summer, de-install it (covering the hole with a tarp and a board so
people don't fall in it), and haul it to a body shop to get sandblasted
and a baked-on paint job. I assume you have a real door at the bottom?
Of course, that might cost almost as much as a new door, but it would be
prettier than anything you can do in place.
