Painting Two Front Doors

I got started on a new project today.  I am going to paint two front doors and side lights to look like wood.  The doors are real wood but with a clear coat over them.  They get a lot of sun all year and so the clear coat keeps cracking and peeling and it's a yearly problem.  So to give the doors at least 10 to 15 years of life without a yearly restoration I am going to simply paint them to look like wood just as I do a garage door.

Today I got the doors cleaned and sanded down and primed.  You can see from the pictures they were in rough shape.
