Rust on your metal fence? That doesn’t necessarily mean it’s time to replace it.
We get questions about painting rusted metal surfaces quite a bit, especially here in Chicago, where our weather can take a toll on exterior fences and railings.
At CertaPro Painters of Oak Park/Chicago Central, we start by removing visible rust using grinders and wire brushes. From there, we apply a rust-inhibiting primer followed by two coats of a metal-specific finish, such as an industrial enamel.
The condition of the metal matters, and so does the product you put on it. That’s why we evaluate the surface before recommending the right approach.
If your home’s or business’s metal fencing is starting to show its age, give us a call. Book your no-hassle, FREE estimate today or visit our website to learn more about our exterior painting services.
