Wrought Iron

 











For rusting and peeling wrought iron, wire brush and scape throroghly to remve all loose and flaking material. Sand all spots as close as possible to bare metal, feathering the edges of the old paint. Spot prime with a rust-inhibiting metal primer-an alkyd- or oil-base primer, then paint with an oil base top coat. Oil-base is more effective than Latex paint because it will not leave small pinholes for water to seep through and cause further rust.
