Here are the steps and tools needed
Remember that it would be best to remove door to accomplish this.
When painting metal doors it's best to get those foam brushes instead of bristle brushes.

do the prep work first-provide a clean surface
apply appropriate primer for adhesion to exterior metal surface
use a decorative paint product to mimic graining the surface
apply a protective compatable finish (varnish or exterior polyurethane) due to exposure to weather

Start with a base of brown paint, let it dry then add streaks of a darker brown to black to simulate patterns of the grain in the wood
