small tip, fabricate some hanger like devices so you can spray the whole thing at once. I use some copper wire or a hanger that's cut up. you can hang them from a ladder or a tree or anything really. I used to use a ladder that bends into a scaffold to hang my freshly painted car parts.

for more in dept tricks for the viewers ,Sanding the surface will make it that the primer will take longer to peel off from the surface (loss of elasticity over time(critical surface tension) its like puting some velcro under your primer. you especially want to do this the smoother the stuff your painting is,if it feels slipery to the finger,it will peel fast,it it feel rough,chance's are it'll never peel off. If its going outside,sand the primer with 400 or 600 grit,so the paint dont peel :)

Rustoleum has always worked for me---just painted some steel beams today. I remove the nozzle and place it in the paint cap, with mineral spirits, to soak it clean. This uses a small amount of spirits (less than a shot glass).

Spraying inverted to clear the nozzle wastes gas and eventually the gas will run out and there is still paint left in the can. I had this happen to me, I after every use did the inverted spray and after some time the gas run out and had still paint inside. So I think it is better to refer from doing this, and if the nozzle gets clogged just submerge it in paint thinner to clean it, I think rustoleum cans say to do this if the nozzle gets clogged

+Jezzer 2014 Hammerite is normally ok, but for any steelwork that is being used externally it's much better to get it galvanised first.

No matter which paint you use, you will probably have to give it a fresh coat or paint every few years to prevent it from deteriorating and rusting.

I've heard the same gripe from several people since 2013 or earlier. I found Pro-cote from Toolstation pretty good and affordable. Sprayed a metal frame with Procote cold galv and left it outside all winter, whatever is coated hasn't rusted and the spots that were missed have rusted but the cold galv hasn't flaked off though and thats without a top coat.

I think I applied the top coat the day after, it's best to leave it as long as possible to let the primer harden fully.

I can't remember now long I left it now, but it will tell you on the tin of paint. Are you sure the daybed is painted and not powder coated? Powder coating is popular now, but I'm not sure if you can paint over it, so you might have to test it out on a inconspicuous area first. Thanks for the comment

What top coat product would you recommend? I’m looking for something durable with a high gloss sheen. Thanks so much for this.

I normally use Rustoleum top coat, but if you need something really durable, you might be better off getting the item powder coated. Thanks for the comment

Would you say this is better than hammerite direct to rust metal paint? Does this leave a soft finish or more like hardened finish?
@ultimatehandyman

I've not used any Hammerite products for years, I normally use Rustoleum rust reformer- kzitem.info/news/bejne/rW9ovZ6Ln6KhoXo Then a suitable topcoat. It's fairly tough, but if the metal is going to be impacted, it might be best to get it powder coated. Thanks for the comment 👍

How about painting a zinc-plated Smittybilt winch roller? I want to paint a gun-metal gray over the bright chrome color it is now.

Painting over chrome is difficult, normal paint will probably scrape off easily!

When painting a vehicle, people normally use the thinners that they are going to use to thin the paint. I guess you could use methylated spirits, but thinners would be preferred 👍

I need to paint over stainless steel. However, don't you also need a spray sealer on top of the paint?

It depends what paint you use. Many paint manufacturers are very vague when they say that the paint can be use on and often they just state "metal", which is not much use as there are so many different types of metal.

I have a metal laundry tin that I would like to spray paint a different colour. It is currently blue. Would I be best to sand it down, use a primer and then a spray paint? I am hoping for a light mushroom colour :)

As long as the paint is in good condition you should be able to just clean it using methylated spirits (denatured alcohol) then prime it and then spray it the colour of your choice. If it's got a really glossy surface right now you could give it a light sanding to ensure the primer sticks well. Thanks for the comment

Do I have to sand the pre-painted metal (gloss with no rust, flaking, or blemishes) before applying rustoleum ultra cover 2x gloss over it? or am i fine with just overlaying with the spray paint.

Chris Howe Yes, it's no good if the paint is soft. You really need to remove it, clean the surface. prime it and then apply a top coat of decent quality paint.
