The heat you see daily in Florida can be very extreme. It's well worth the extra couple bucks to get a new IGU with LOE/Arg. No matter how you look at it your going to have a hefty price tag on replacing this glass. I don't think any glass replacement companies would take the risk of trying to do this. The time and cost involved to retrofit such units would be much more expensive than buying new ones. Is it possible to reseal the glass in the same frames? The answer is possibly "yes" from a technical standpoint, but 'no' from a practical one. The whole unit usually is replaced in such cases. When one of the pieces breaks, not only has that glass been destroyed, but the sealed airspace has been destroyed as well. With your glass being so large, you've got "double strength" insulated glass units (IGU). Pick up several small paint buckets, a new brush and a razor blade scraper while shopping. Do the outside, then a second coat on the inside and out. I would do the inside first as it will be less visible. Mix the black paint, pour into a small bucket (easier than painting from the can), and paint. If not, visit a local paint store for advice. If you have a Sherwin Williams store, I recommend All Surface Enamel for your finish coats. Try not to paint if there is sun shining directly on the door. Start early and leave the door open all day if possible. This drys fast, so you may do the entire door.
It comes in gray, but may not be in stock, so ask to have it tinted if all they have is white. Get a quart of Glidden Gripper while at Home Depot. Tape any hardware, like the hinges, that you are not removing, but I would skip the glass. Black will show every defect, so the better the door looks now, the better it will look painted. I like Krud Kutter - get it at Home Depot in the paint department.
