Which paint is best for metal?

Johnstone's Trade Aqua Satin - Suitable for using on both interior and exterior metal surfaces, Johnstone's Aqua Satin provides a tough, durable, and quick-drying finish. Offering beautiful results, this water-based paint applies just like a traditional solvent-based satinwood.

Can you paint directly over rusted metal?

Yes, you can paint over rusted metal; however, you must ensure that the correct surface preparation has been carried out according to the manufacturer's instructions. Products such as Hammerite metal paint and Rust-Oleum CombiColor can both be applied directly to rusted metal surfaces.

Can metal be painted without primer?

Although it is possible to paint metal surfaces without the use of a primer, we highly recommend using one to ensure better adhesion and smooth, quality results.

Primers that are suitable for using on metal surfaces include:

Products such as Zinsser AllCoat, Rust Oleum Combi Colour and Dulux Weathershield Quick Dry Exterior Wood & Metal Paint can all be applied without the need of a primer.
