Barbara’s Tips for Painting Metal:

Always clean your piece thoroughly with a product like TSP by Fusion Mineral Paint before you begin painting.  Paint will not stick to dirt.

Use a high quality brush to minimize brush strokes.  Barbara’s favorite brush brand is Staalmeester which can be found in the online paint store.

Paint indoors as much as you can!  Fusion Mineral Paint is VOC-free so it’s perfectly safe to use indoors.  Plus, painting indoors will ensure your project’s finish isn’t compromised by temperature or humidity.

BONUS TIP:  A few of Barbara’s favorite places to find budget-friendly lamp shades include Target, Ross & Lamps Plus.

    Hi, I have a question. I’m painting my outside metal patio furniture. I scraped the loose top coat of paint off. Underneath the top coat is a some what glossy paint. What do I need to do before I start painting with Fusion Mineral Paint? Thank you.

      I’d us a medium grit sanding block, like we sell at the shop, over the entire surface, to give it “tooth”. Then, clean and paint. Good luck!

    Can I use the paint for indoor and outdoor polished stainless steel doors handles

    • Barbara Bussey on May 30, 2023 at 4:10 pm

      I would clean the door and use ultra grit, prior to painting. Ultra grip is a bonding agent, and it needs to sit for 12 hours before painting.

    So, I don’t need to use UltraGrip? I just need to clean and paint the metal? Mine is an indoor piece that has never rusted and the current coat is not shiny,.

      I think you should be fine since it’s not a slick surface, to just clean first, and then paint.
