[QUOTE="Cheeseball, post: 114159, member: 838"] You'll need to lightly sand the whole thing before you paint with 400 grit - 600 grit. That will take off much of the oxidization, then wipe down with acetone. You'll need a self-etching primer. Now, some guys here will roll their eyes and shake their heads... but I used rattle cans on my project and I'm very satisfied with the results. But just be prepared to put on a lot of coats. The rattle cans don't have the good coverage of a sprayer, so it will take many thin coats. With all those coats you'll get some over spray that you will have to wet sand out. If you don't have a compressor or sprayer, I think rattle cans are the best route to go. Also, if you go with painting with rattle cans, get one of those squeeze grips that you can put on the spay paint can. I'll save your finger. [/QUOTE]
