How should I paint an old indoor wrought iron railing?
Q. I need help, paint can make this railing look brand new. The railing is old and we have redone almost every aspect of this house but the railing has stayed so what can i do to make it look nice? The railing starts downstairs and extends upstairs along the hallway. I painted the upstairs portion in the hallway already and I was planning to finish. I painted it with oil based paint, was that a mistake?? It's nice but I was wondering if there is something better I could do, I want to do some type of painting technique, my friend has one in her home that is painted the iron color (dark grey) but it has like silver weathered accent on it. I don't know if you can picture what i'm describing but please any suggestions, photos, etc would… [cont.]

A. You've done right by using the oil paint, you might want to try a rustoleum product called "Hammerite" it will give it a real nice look to it, check it out and you won't have to re prime and sand all these other make more work for yourself ideas, as long as there is no rust or flaking of old paint your fine if there is a wire brush will do the trick, good luck Les the painter
