Wrought Iron Fence PAINTING Tips
What happens here
Begin by removing any loose or peeling rust and old paint from the fence. Use a 3x4 sander with medium grit foam sanding pads to efficiently smooth out large areas. For stubborn rust spots, especially around weld joints or areas difficult for the sander to reach, use a steel wire brush to thoroughly clean the surface. Change the sanding pads as they wear out to maintain effectiveness. Continue this process until the surface is free of any flaking or loose material, providing a stable base for the primer.
Goal: Remove loose rust and old paint for optimal adhesion.
