Which Paint/Primer? - andybesy - 24-09-16
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

When I did my centre stand I used Isopon zinc 182 from halfords and halfords gloss black see here http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php/topic,20049.msg231622.html#msg231622
The zinc went onto bare metal with no problem and both gave a nice finish, shame its slung under the bike where it wont be seen

I know it's a little late now but had you not considered having it powder coated? Completely weather proof and would probably only cost the same a 2 tins of halfords spray?

I like this primer on cleaned up mild steel:

and this gives a decent black resistant finish:
