I need to repaint a bronze color exterior metal rail with some rust and old paint. Do I just apply it on the rusty spot? Need primer on top of it ?

I just brushed on after using a wire brush to remove some rust scales. This seems to work for the price and can put primer over it after it dries.

Rust reformer dries flat black and acts as your primer. Clean all loose rust and flakes first (wire brush) for a good smooth result. I was very happy with this product and my results!

Use sandpaper and a wire brush to remove as much rust as practical. To achieve a smooth final finish, apply the Rust-Oleum with a soft cloth to avoid bumps or streaks. Allow to dry completely. Next, apply several coats of fast drying rust resistant primer. Sand lightly after each coat dries. Repeat until finish is smooth and apply final coat. Be sure the metal is free of dirt or oil before you apply the Rust-Oleum solution. You could apply the finish coat without using primer but several coats of primer will make for a finer finish and the final coat of paint will last longer.

Yes, I use it on small rust spots all the time and there is no need to sand first. I just wipe off the excess; it hasn't ever affected the surrounding paint. It will leave a film that can be easily wiped off. It works great. No need to use primer, just paint right after it drys.

I would only use as primer on rusty metal surface. I would still use this on the auto dent to get any possible remaining rust. It turns rust in to a hard protective surface, then just paint over. It goes on milky green but turns dark brown when dried.

If using an oil based paint such as Rustoleum topside paint, oil based Marine Primer for metal would be best. If for some reason you are using Latex paint then Latex primer would be good. You will not get the gloss of topside paint with a Latex though.

you can use this paint on rusted areas and painted areas also but the main purpose of this paint is to stop the rust it is reccomended to topcoat this paint after 24 hour dry time with regular paint

I have one of these which lives outside. I first primed with Rustoleum primer, followed by a moss green Rustoleum outer coat. (The moss green does a great job of toning down the tower's presence in the yard: the neighbors appreciate it.) There are small areas of rust bubble, but I believe that's because the tower was outside for about six weeks before I repainted it. I have noticed that water is seeping into the interior of the frame so I am going to try caulking the rubber boots on the base. You could also consider a grill cover or tarp as an additional measure of protection. My recommendation would be to paint it first before assembly to ensure maximum effective coverage, particularly for those portions of the unit which are covered by joins and joints (e.g., arm rests to the uprights).

This particular product does not require a primer. It has a primer in it. You should clean all the metal surfaces of your gazebo and rough up the metal with a semi-fine steel wool or sandpaper. That will help the paint adhere to the surface. I will tell you that I had a lot of problems with the trigger on this product. So much that I stopped using it. I then bought the regular Rustoleum and a special trigger that they make (sold separately). That was the way to go.

Use a gloss black primer, and then paint *extremely* light coats of chrome, building it up slowly. I find that 2-3 coats works best, and it dries very quickly in between coats. I have looked everywhere for a "manual" or directions, but have not found one, so the info I am giving you is based on my own tests. I tried it many different ways, and only gloss black with light chrome coats gave me the high polish results I was looking for. It should also be sealed if it's going to be even lightly handled, and again the sealing should be done with a very light hand. I would recommend testing on plastic spoons to make sure you have things right before you go to model, as stripping this stuff is a real PITA. Happy Painting!

After you convert the rust, it becomes a different and stable metal. You can paint over it with most any paint so I would assume rubberize undercoting is fine.

Yes, If applied correctly it will "kill" the rust, thereby stop the spreading of rust. It will NOT stop other, surrounding, areas from rusting. Only properly treated areas will have protected, rust free metal. Top coating with a quality paint is essential.

I have used this product on various projects. To get the best results, you should remove any excess material (loose and flaking rust, peeling paint, etc.). You can just apply it to any rusty spot and help interrupt the rust cycle. If you have too much material over the base/core rusty metal, it may not react to halt the on going rusting action.

The rust already there should be removed. You should be able to use a little sand paper, being very careful not to scratch the surrounding area. Then you can apply this to the area where the rust was. The color of the paint is unlikely to match the color of your stove precisely, so while it will cover the spot and stop the rust from spreading, the patch will most likely be a slighly different color than the rest of the stove.

Since the top coat (or final finish) is an epoxy-type solution that was supplied with your kit, it probably won't hold up long enough with the proper consistency to be applied at some later time. Check with Rust-Oleum though; but my feeling is that you'll probably need to purchase more of the compound to get the finish that you want.

I had some rusted areas, all I did was scuff up the rusted areas and applied the plastikote with a brush on the rusted areas and then went over those areas with a roller later on. If the areas are rusted to where the metal has gotten thinner than original, I would not reccommend going over the thin or brittle areas. make sure by tapping areas lightly with a light hammer or the wooden handle of a screwdriver. Hope my personal experience helps. It's hard to give advice without seeing the problem in person, but I think you should be alright if you follow this advise. Al

Bring it to any paint store that carries Rust-Oleum, such as Home Depot. That's where I took it. You pick one of the the 'light' color, and they should be able to tint it for a very small fee, if not free. Good luck.

You can use a Big Box exterior primer. Roll on with small roller where it will contact.

I am not sure how "Permatex 81775 Rust Treatment , 8 oz." would be used for painting porch decking. If you porch has a rusting metal deck then maybe... I used the rust treatment for locking in/stopping the rust from developing on my car's undercarriage. I don't think this is meant to be painted on or even viewed, it starts a chemical reaction that coats the rusted metal with a greenish/blackish glassy looking substance (the Permatex?!).. I'm not sure it can be primed or painted on. I would read the use carefully before doing anything with it, is probably very toxic as well.
