I am painting a metal fence. So far I have power sanded it to get rid of loose paint etc and treated the worst of the rust with Kurust (made by Hammerite)..
I see that Hammerite can be applied direct to rust and that Kurust can be coated with almost any paint afterwards.
Would it be a good idea to coat the worst areas with red oxide primer or could this worsen the adhesion of the Hammerite paint if it is designed to adhere to the metal (or rust)?
