diy - painting the front door

i've been researching the correct way

to successfully paint my front door.

there are a lot of tutorials out there, 

but i decided to ask a professional.

more specifically, the guy at home depot:)

first up...

choose a color.

here is how my front door looks now...

 i used photoshop to change the door color.
here are a few options i'm considering...

 option 1 -  dark green

option 2 - red

option 3 - dark blue

option 4: dark brown (matching the trim color) 

so what do you think?

i'll reveal the "after" tomorrow.
