Painted my front door bright yellow - biggest regret of the summer

I used Behr Ultra from Home Depot and it started peeling around the edges after just one rain storm. Anyone know a paint that actually sticks to metal doors without sanding?

Oh man, that yellow is a bold choice though... I feel your pain. Same thing happened to me with a red door from the same brand, peeled right off my metal storm door. Ended up having to use Rust-Oleum's metal primer first, then a topcoat specifically for metal and it's held up way better so far. You probably don't need to sand if you just clean it real good and use a bonding primer.

Heard a painter on a podcast say 90% of paint failures come down to bad prep work. That yellow might need like 4 coats to cover too unless you got a good base down first.
