jadee Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Hi everyone, My condo's balcony has a metal railing, it's painted white but has some rust. In some places the paint has chipped off. I'm just looking for some basic advice. I live near a Home Pro so if anyone can suggest products there, that would be helpful. 1) do I just use sandpaper to sand off the rust or do I need to strip the paint? If sandpaper, what grade of grit is best? 2) I've been to Home Pro and noticed spray paint cans of 'Rust-olene' that claim to be a 2-in-1 primer and paint - could I use that to repaint? If not, what type of paint do I need? If anyone knows the brand name/type that would be helpful as I'll know what to look for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langsuan Man Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 You must be in Pattaya since the Home Pro on Klang at Big C Extra is the only Home Pro that I have found that sells Rust Oleum If you just want to do a "spot" job then the Rust Oleum 2 in 1 aerosol would be acceptable, just get "flat" white variety and a fine grade of (metal) sand paper would be OK. My only concern doing a spot job is whether or not the Rust Oleum white will match your current paint I recently re painted a large patio railing so I used an orbital sander to get rid of the loose paint / visible rust and then used Rust Oleum "Rusty Metal" Primer followed by Rust Oleum Flat Black, expensive using Rust Oleum but at least I won't be doing it again for at least 5 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
