Q: I have an iron security door on my custom-built home, and the door has really started to fade to the point that it looks almost gray. It’s only 3 years old so what should I do about it?

A:Β You could have it painted, but first I’d contact the installer of the door to see if they will make good on their product. You can also call a painter, but most likely they’ll recommend powder-coating the door rather than painting.
