Its called doing a faux finish on ur door, but u need proper primer for the metal door before doing it.
Start with a base of brown paint, let it dry then add streaks of a darker brown to black to simulate patterns of the grain in the wood
go to home depot to the paint department and ask them they will know.
do the prep work first-provide a clean surface


apply appropriate primer for adhesion to exterior metal surface


use a decorative paint product to mimic graining the surface


apply a protective compatable finish (varnish or exterior polyurethane) due to exposure to weather
there are pre mixed paints


we can also mix colours and arrive at wood colour
