my wrought iron fence is starting to get rust damage & needs painting…whats the best way to fix it?
Rustoleum is my new best friend. I collect wrought iron and most of it is outside year long. First, wire brush off any loose, chipped, flaking rusty areas. Then give it two coats of Rustoleum metal primer (it comes out rusty brown colored). It encapsulates the rust, protects it from getting new rust and stops any existing rust. Then give it two coats of Rustoleum Wrought Iron Texture paint. It will be good as new and you won’t have to do it again. Every other product I have used, including Hammerite, were severe disappointments because I saw rust again in short order and had to paint them again. This stuff really works and the only time you will need to touch it up is if the paint gets dinged by something hard enough to bend the metal or you have a fire.
A few hints. Get one of those trigger devices that fit on the top of the spray paint container. Not only does it save you finger fatigue, but it helps you stay 6-8 inches from the surface which precludes runs, drips and errors. Second, wear a face mask because the spray paint becomes air bourne and you will breathe that. Absolutely follow the time schedule on the cans to let it fully cure before adding the next coats for the best protection.
