Aside from finish quality a sprayer will also save you hours of brushwork if you have several doors to paint.
The hardest part was taping and sealing off the trim around the door.

It produces a finer spray which reduces your chances of blasting on too much paint and creating runs.
The color of the primer should also be close to that of the paint e g a light gray primer for a lilac door.
You can also ensure a perfect color match by buying a white primer and having it.
To small and the primer or paint will exit the tip with fingers at each end of the spray fan and to big will deposit a large amount of paint on the doors surface when spraying a steel door i use a 311 or 313 spray tip with exterior acrylic and 310 fine finish or 311 with alkyd finishes.
Spraying the doors only required pockets of 10 15 minutes at a time and freed up a lot of time to do other things.
Switch to a mini roller for flat areas.
If the door has a vertical center stile paint this next and then blend in the brush marks from the center stile when you paint the horizontal rails.
Both can apply a flawless coat in minutes but hvlp is more forgiving.
Using semigloss exterior paint and a 2 inch angled sash brush with synthetic bristles paint around the edges of the panels.
Highly recommend going this route if you have a bunch of doors to paint.
Begin by applying paint to the inside of the top panels.
I needed to start with spray painting the trim before i removed the door.
