I saw on a DIY show to have another person stand with a huge piece of cardboard on the opposite side as you spray to keep the paint from going everywhere. Summer seems to be flying by, but I keep reminding myself to take it one day at a time and SLOW DOWN... which it almost impossible for me :)Heather McEndreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05768937649981361821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8041515188769298714.post-8455415412965342552012-06-18T09:48:38.998-04:002012-06-18T09:48:38.998-04:00Hey!! I've done the rusty railing thing! Sand ...Hey!! I've done the rusty railing thing! Sand it really well, I mean really well to get rust and chipped paint off. They make "rustoleum" paint and it's really good. Use the black, or whatever color you want and it will look as good as new!!! I found it easier to brush paint than spray. Spray goes everywhere!! And the sanding part is REALLY important because if you have anything loose or not sanded, it will cause your paint to chip and it won't last as long. <br />I did this to the railing of our old house so it looked good when we were selling it. Come to think of it, I could probably be doing it to our railing here but I sort of forgot we even had it!! :) Hope you are having a great summer!!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07657875124147832192noreply@blogger.com
