The door is being painted ( present tense, the door still has wet paint or someone is painting it as we speak)
The door is painted (past tense, the door is already painted, the paint is dry)
* i paid someone, because i am tired, so the door is being painted while i am here taking a break
* my friends are helping me to move out, i take care of the boxes, sarah moves the furniture and the door is being painted by my other friend alex
* i am painting the door right now (me)
* do you like my door? I painted it blue because when we came it was painted white and i think it was boring.
* come meet us at the bar, you can find it easily, the door is painted red.

is being painted → 「ペンキを塗られているところだ」「ペンキを塗られている途中だ」
is painted というのは、文脈なしだと painted が形容詞みたいな感覚になります。
「塗られた状態だ」「ペンキが塗ってある」というような意味になります。
また、is painted というのは場合によっては「いつも習慣的に塗られるものだ」という解釈もできますが、普通は上記の意味になりやすいと思います。
