Fiberglass doors are one of the most popular doors in homes across the country because they’re strong, sturdy, and they stand the test of time. But when it comes to picking the right paint for your fiberglass door, there’s a little more to it than meets the eye.
Whether you want to give your entryway an exciting, fresh new look or you’re on the lookout to protect your door against the elements, high-quality paints and stains make all the difference if you want to make sure that the color pops and the finish stays protected over time.
Let’s dive into the best paint for fiberglass doors, including what goes into the best stains and finishes for fiberglass doors.
Why Fiberglass Doors Are Right for Your Home
Unlike wood and steel doors, fiberglass doors are special because they hold up extremely well against things like dents, scratches, and warping—all while having top-notch insulation abilities. The result? Keeping your home cool in summer and warm in winter.
And with a top-tier coat of paint, you’re all set. Fiberglass doors don’t need regular painting or staining—something we can’t say for wood doors. On top of that, painted fiberglass doors don’t just have an upgraded look but also upgraded protection from UV rays and moisture.
At the end of the day, fiberglass doors are built to last, cost-effective, and stylish. And with the right kind of paints and stains, your door will do its job and then some for years to come.
Best Paint Finishes and Colors for Fiberglass Doors
One of the most satisfying parts of being a door owner is getting to be creative with how it looks. Whether you’re on the search for an earthy stain with the look of natural wood or you’re after a bold, jaw-dropping paint color, there are a ton of ways to get the style that you’re looking for.
Ideally, you want the color of your door to compliment your home’s siding, roofing, shingles, and any other outdoor features. Whether your home is modern, traditional, or somewhere in between, there’s a color that will pair nicely with your home’s natural look.
But the paint and color that you decide on aren’t the only things that matter. Both the quality of the paint and the quality of the finish play an important role in how great-looking and low-maintenance your door turns out in the long run.

Take a few of our most popular colors for example. Spice Red is bold and gives off a feeling of warmth, helping your entryway stand out. But for a more natural feel, the earthy tone of Pine Green blends with your outdoor scenery—good news for homes surrounded by lots of greenery.
Blue Ash brings a sense of peace to your entryway, while Classic White is timeless and never goes out of style. If you want a modern, subtle look, Wolf Gray is a neutral color that complements the other gray tones outside your home like stone or concrete in a cool way.
Stains That Give Your Door an Earthy Look
If you love the look of natural wood on your door but you prefer the low-maintenance of fiberglass, then stains are a great choice. At Pella, we have oak-grain, mahogany-grain, and fir-grain fiberglass doors that we stain in your choice of eight colors.
Each of our top-notch stains is hand-applied and cured by professionals, giving your new door a high-quality finish that captures the natural beauty of wood while having the durability of fiberglass. The most common stain finishes are gloss, satin, and matte.
Gloss finishes have a shiny, reflective coating: easy to clean but might show imperfections. Satin finishes give your door a smooth sheen in between gloss and matte—low-maintenance and hides flaws. Matte has a flat finish that conceals blemishes but is harder to clean.
