A month ago, I noticed rust building up on my metal gate. As Diwali is coming, I planned to get it painted. I knew I couldn't do it on my own and it was time to call a professional to help me. I hence hired a painter and watched closely the steps he performed. He also explained how to prep rusty metal for paint. Seeing it firsthand, I realised it's not just about applying paint; it's the prep work that really matters. I have shared the detailed process they followed for painting my rust metal gate.

How to Prepare a Rusted Metal Surface for Painting?

  • He first removed all the loose rust using a wire brush and sanded the surface to smooth it out.

  • After that, he cleaned the surface with a clean cloth and applied a rust converter. 

  • After letting the converter dry, he applied a primer for metal surfaces.

  • Finally, he applied the paint. 

Although the expert painter I hired made it appear simple, he highlighted how crucial these procedures are to prolong the paint's lifespan. I hope you understand how to prepare a rusty surface for painting.
