Surface Preparation
Metal surface must be properly prepared to ensure the paint adheres properly. First, clean the surface using a damp cloth. Please note that the surface should be free from oil, grease and dust, should you need a more in-depth clean, using a cleaner or degreaser. For this purpose, we have professional expertise in plastering.
We will also assess if there’s any rust in your metal. If yes, we need to remove it before painting. OS Decor offers professional furniture painting services which includes rust removal.
Priming
Priming is an essential process in painting, it helps to prevent rust and promotes paint adhesion. We recommend our spray painting service for priming as it provides an even coat, enhances durability and finish.
FAQs
Do I need to sand the metal before painting?
Sanding the metal can help to create a surface that your paint will easily adhere to. A perfectly smooth surface will allow the paint to spread evenly.
How long should I wait between coats of paint?
The drying time will vary depending on the type of paint used. We recommend waiting at least 24 hours between coats. Please follow the instructions given on the paint can.
