My outside metal gate needs repainting. I can remove it from the wall but the actual bolt is captive - welded in. This is the bit that is most rusty and I am wondering the best way to paint it so it doesn't get painted stuck, or end up really messy. Is there a standard trick to this?
Am I best advised to paint the metal parts where it attaches to the wall (threaded rod with a chunky nut) or will that make removing the nut next time impossible and it should be left exposed?
I'm using hammerite metal paint - I have a tin, and also a spray-can for any little bits here and there.
