Perhaps someone will have a suggestion for me. I just bought a new entry
door that I had planned to repaint from white to blue to match my garage
doors. I find now that the door was painted white at the factory using an
electrostatic method. What kind of paint must I buy (or is it possible at
all) to repaint the door with a brush to match my other doors. I realise the
finish will never be as smooth as a factory job. Thanks for your help.

Auto body shop. Have them spray paint the color of your choice.

lightly sand the door
apply a coat of zinzer 123 primer tinted to finish color
then apply a coat or two of good quality acrylic paint,not flat
talk to your paint dealer

Call the door manufacturer customer service and ask them. Keep in mind
that electrosttic painting is just a way to get more paint on the part
and minimize overspray. It is always desireable to paint doors lying
flat on a sawhorse so forget about the brush and consider renting a
spray gun or even buying a Wagner Power Pooper to apply the finish.
You most likely would be using oil based paint, so get with a good
paint store for supplies/advice. Good luck.
