I've been asked to paint these railings:
As you can see, they are a bit rusty but generally in good nick. My instinct as to the approach is to:
1. rub down all over
2. prime
3. exterior u/c
4. exterior gloss
a) Do I need to rub down metal that ISN'T rusty?
b) What is best primer, and do I just prime the rusty bits?
c) oil-based u/c and gloss is better??
There's 65m of railing, so quite a task.......
