    I believe it depends on the door. From what I understand the expensive fiberglass doors that resemble wood do not need a finish. I think I read somewhere that the plain white doors need to be painted otherwise that might get a yellow tint. I've had my front door unpainted for 2 years and there hasn't been any yellowing.

    Many good fiber glass doors will have instruction on how they can take a stain and/or paint

Installing Fiberglass Entry Doors [ 2 Answers ]

I am in the process of getting some new pre-hung fiberglass doors. I was told (by my brother) that I can’t use storm doors with fiberglass (or metal) doors. It turns into a greenhouse, and stuff then warps, including the parts of the storm door itself. Is that true? Thanks, Brian
