Its called metal primer..specifically for metal...lets keep it that way.
There are many types of primers. it depends on what surface you are using the primer on really. if you are working on timber, you must use pink wood primer BUT you must use Shellac Knotting first on the brown circles (knots) on the wood. This will stop the bleeding of resin coming through these knots when you come to painting on metal, you must you a red coloured primer
1872 a quite successful year.
A door that is made of solid wood
If door knob is a metal then it is conductor if not like wood then insulator.
Yes, you can.
No, always apply a primer coat to bare wood.
Minwax stains are made to go directly onto wood. You do not need primer, and I think it looks awful over primer.
Yes, prime with a 100% acrylic high adhesion primer, then coat with either a water based or oil based enamel paint for durability.
If the door has a primer or a paint on it then no. Stain needs open grain to work. Stain seeps into the pores of the wood. If there is a coating, i.e. the primer or paint, then the stain will have nowhere to go. It will just sit on top of the coating until it is wiped off or dries in ugly blotches.

Wood preservative is a chemical that will soak a good way into the wood surface and will have bacterial and fungicidal properties. It may also contain UV inhibitors and may be water repellent. The purpose of a wood preservative is to stop exposed wood form rotting. A wood primer is a chemical that is applied to the surface of the wood and is intended to adhere well to the wood surface on one side and any undercoat paint applied on top. Sometimes the primer contains components designed to fill the grain of the wood so that when sanded down a smooth finish is obtained (sometimes these grain fillers are used before the primer). The purpose of a primer is to ensure that the paint coat does not peel off painted wood.
Primer, type depends on the type of wood.
Enamel Paint or stain can be removed with turpentine just remember to use a mask because it stinks
From a paint contractor in arizona. Yes you can sand good enough to break the glaze. and than by a good latex enamel paint and give 2ea. coats. with time to dry between coats.
Yes, you can.
Start with a primer, Perma Seal is great. then I would use oil based paint.
