What happens here

After fabrication, the metal base is thoroughly cleaned to remove any grease, oil, or welding residue. Acetone is applied with a rag and wiped over all surfaces of the metal frame. This cleaning step is crucial for ensuring proper adhesion of the primer and paint. Once clean and dry, the metal base is primed and painted. Krylon Automotive Acrylic Enamel spray paint, in white, is used. Multiple thin coats are applied to achieve full coverage and a smooth, durable finish, allowing adequate drying time between coats.

Goal: Prepare and finish the metal base with paint

Tools and materials

  • Acetone Crown — To clean the metal frame of grease and residues before painting
  • Rag — To apply acetone and wipe the metal frame
  • Respirator Mask — To protect from paint fumes

What they say

Hide

after we're done welding right before we lay down the paint I use acetone on a rag to clean the metal and to give it as bare surface area as I can it's usually covered in grease from the steel shop to keep it from corrosion and so this gives you the best opportunity have the best paint job so for paint I'm using a paint and primer from Kryolan it's an automotive acrylic enamel it's white it sprays very well but being metal be very careful to watch those run off now when
