I have a maintenance contract to rub down, prime and re-paint some steel lintels that are above the entrance doors on the outside of business units in a business park. I still have to confirm the RAL number. Could you tell me which primer and topcoat you would recommend?
After preparation as per the product data sheets, if the metal is rusted we would recommend Rust-Oleum 769/780 Damp-Proof Rust Primer, if bare ferrous metal then Rust-Oleum 1060/1080 High Build Metal Primer, if galvanised steel, stainless steel, aluminium other smooth, dense surface then Rust-Oleum 3202 Galvinoleum Primer.
Follow all with Rust-Oleum 7500 Alkythane in the colour and finish of your choice.
