Good job. I'm doing my fence with a brush now, its slow, but I'm making good progress and I think my version will take the same amount of time that his method is taking. I was going to spray my fence as well, but decided against it. Ms. B. Churchill
What type of paint did you use? Did you need to use paint thinner to get it to spray through the sprayer? Or is the viscosity thin enough to use as is in the paint gun?
I used oil base primer and latex for top coat, and No thinner needed when using an airless sprayer, you need to thin the paint only when using an HVLP sprayer.
@@goldfinchrenovation3872 what’s the actual name of paint, and does it stop further rusting. My galvanized chainlink fence is starting to rust…been on the inter webs for weeks looking for a very good galvanized paint or rust converter. HELP ME!!
@@ttawevino9964 Sorry i can't really help you in your situation, the primer used in this project was oil based purchased by the client, latex wad used for top coat, it was a job that I have done once and not something I do on a regular basis so my knowledge is limited regarding the material used to remove rust and paint metal fences .
At first I started brush and rolling that fence before I realize i was moving really slow trying to reach into those tight bends and i figured it was going to take me days to get the job completed so I decided to use a sprayer and I was moving 10 times faster and then when I started using that method of retrieving paint, I saved time and paint.
Tried rolling a chain linked fence yesterday with a rough fluffy roller, & admit that rolling is soo much slower & messier. Truly, spray cans or nozzle are the best ways to go.
Easier said than done, I tried rolling it at first but i couldn't reach most bends and loops and had to use a brush to reach them , It was going to take me days to finish a 120 feet of fence, I switched to spraying and finished the job in half a day and saved 3 quarters of a gallon of paint.
