Hi. Ive got quite a lot of old corrugated, galvanised iron sheets. They are in good condition apart from a few nail holes. This is real old heavy duty stuff that you don't see often these days. It contains a lot of lead I guess. Anyway I want to reuse it for a fence about 30 yards long. Currently its bare metal. I'm thinking of painting it first but I don't want the paint coming off in big flakes later on. It's a north south fence so its going to cop quite a lot of sun.
I could spray it but I've also thought of making up a paint bath of some kind. Preferably I just want to use water based paint.
What do you reckon? Is this worth trying or should i just leave it bare. Has anyone else painted big expanses of old galv with success? What sort of preparation did you use?
