Hi Folks,
I've finally got around to sanding and painting my Givi luggage rack but could do with some advice on which paint to use.
I'm not too fussed about looks, it's corrosion protection that interests me.
Following previous efforts with poor results I'm really keen to use a good primer, but most of the anti-rust top coat paints I'm looking at seem to want to go straight on to bare metal (or even rust!). Is it just that they can do that but will also be fine on top of a primer, or must they go strait to bare metal? It's Hammerite stuff seems most common.
Is red oxide primer any good?
Which primer/paint combination would you recommend?
I'm restricting myself to stuff I can apply with a brush due to lack of facilities, and just looking for a basic satin black finish.
Advice appreciated as always.
Thanks, Andy
