I painted my front porch, red-iron columns with this product and now my home has a wonderful, "Christmas Color" look. Check out the attached photo.
I pressure-washed and spot-sanded, then spot-primed (with Rust-Oleum metal primer paint) the columns first. It took me just over 4 quarts of Rust-Oleum Gloss Burgundy Enamel to paint the 11 columns. I used a 3.5" paint brush with thin-rubber gloves and a rag with turpentine to wipe any splatter off myself. The whole job took about 5-6 hours. Quality music streamed through some nice headphones helped.
Message to Rust-Oleum management: Come check this job out because the South Georgia climate will be a true test of your product's durability (we have but 4 seasons in these parts: "Summa, Summa, Christmas and Mo' Summa").
