Entry Door finish? - AlanS - 07-31-2016
I have an unfinished Mahogany Entry door. No overhang, but a storm door. The door is 80% glass with just 6" stiles/rails and a 12" bottom rail. What finish will give me the most protection, does not look like a bowling alley finish and also does not peel after a year?

Paint. Deep base tint, untinted, will dry clear.

Untinted clear base is exactly that, untinted and clear. See if you can beg a pint and test it.

Yep, you've misinterpreted the suggestion, get the exterior deep base without it being tinted and it's a clear finish with all the protection additives you need. More info here though the article is getting a little dated.
