[QUOTE="MD @Minshall Buildings, post: 6718140, member: 50656"] Successful painting is all about the preparation, as without a good key to the substrate( the steel) the paint will lift off eventually. If you can blast clean the area to be painted that is best but at worst use a wire brush to clean any rust or scale from the surface and ensure no surface grease before painting. Next a good coat of zinc phosphate primer followed by another in your required top coat colour. Paint is porous, so you will always need to re-coat over the years if you want to retain protection.................this is why galvanizing works so well in farming as its fit and forget ( unless you leave it in contact with acidic materials !)
