The starting step in painting metal is to thoroughly clean it in a proper way. The metal might look and feel clean, but any grease, oil, dirt, or rust left on it will surely prevent the paint from properly adhering to the surface of the metal. You are required to avoid using water to clean metal; instead, use a solvent such as acetone. It will dry the metal quickly and leave a clean surface. If necessary, start using a rust remover beforehand to clean surface rust. Once you’ve fully cleaned the metal, try not to touch it since oil from your skin can get it dirty again.

If it sticks, the metal is ferrous and prone to rusting, so try to use a wire brush to clean any rusted spots and then dust with a damp cloth. If it’s galvanized metal, clean it with a detergent solution since the surface normally has oil on it, which will protect the paint from sticking on it. If the galvanized metal has some rust on it, you can easily sand or brush it. While you’re cleaning the surface, you’ll also require removing leftover paint, if any.
- Coat either type of metal with Asian paint primer and make sure it’s formulated for use on metal.
