Some examples of painted sidelights (and some transoms)^^ you don't have much in the way of trim: think about painting all of it the purple, or doing the trim in the house color to make it disappear. The "step" under the door I think should be house color. ^^i love how the whole door, side lights, and casing are one color. ^^here casing and "step" are house color ^^ in this case all of the fancy trim is highlighted in a trim color, but not having trim, I think yours should be purple

Hi there! You can paint the part between the door and sidelights white and also paint sidelights white, it will less emphasize that part. But I think door and sidelights look amazing now, and it would be good if you can pick up the right color for that part to match the door, like wenge and leave door as it is.

That will be an expensive door to replace and I would not touch it if there is nothing wrong with it. here are companies out there that will come out and cut your door open and install any number of glass packages in it. CAVEAT: Most of those are set up to cut holes in standard sized steel and fiberglass doors. Anything that you would cut to the width to match the current glass placement would likely undermine the strength of the door and cause it to rack and become unstable. What is above the door, i.e. from the outside? If a 2nd floor is not directly above (I suspect it is), a sun tunnel would probably be cheaper. Long story short, if you can't bring in daylighting from somewhere else, you are likely going to be forced into a a complete door replacement and are going to have to look at a unit that is clearly well built to accommodate a bunch of visible glass and still maintain its stability.

Is the door in good shape outside of the finish issue? If so, have you had a professional take a crack at refinishing? If that is off the table, I'd agree with the above, Provia, HMI, and HomeGuard make very nice entry doors in fiberglass or steel. The latter two are someowhat regionally available. A factory applied finish being baked enamel if painted, or automotive grade clear coat over stain will do the trick in terms of standing up to the elements. Color-wise, I think that the pics above showing either stain that matches your garage door or paint that matches the windows are probably the two obvious choices. My vote would be to match the garage door unless you plan to change that.
