    Default Painting Metal

    I would like to knows people experiences with painting over a finished metal surface. It has a textured feel of what might be baked enamel in a silver colour.

    I am after a product that can be applied as one step with no primer coat. What are people ideas or experiences on this?

    I find epoxy enamels are pretty good for these sorts of situations, however you would want to ensure that there is no gloss left in the existing finish, before coating.
    Cheers.

    You dinged the car didn't you

    So what your asking is not about painting metal but painting over the paint on metal??

    Christos if it has a textured feel how much of one as sanding it back to re-spray would be ARPIA.

    Photo might help

    Edited after talking to Christos

    Return the item tell them you want a white one

    scouring pad light rub and spray light coats till all covered.
