why is your painter deciding your colors? even if he does them in white, it's still going to get scuffed (according to him), so what's the diff?
maybe he isn't letting them completely cure. who knows. plenty of people have dark painted doors and they look great. Is he using Hollandlac by Fine Paints of Europe? It's one of the best oil enamels on the market. And it's made by the Dutch!
