See these chairs? I had a guy sandblast and prime all my old metal lawn furniture years ago. He sandblasted Friday, it rained all weekend, and primed on Monday. He uses good epoxy primer and it all looked great. I spray painted everything with various Rustoleum and Krylon colors. The DTM primer had a semi-gloss to it and I scuffed it some, but it turns out not enough. In a couple years of sun the paint faded and got chalky looking, some spots showed primer, and others some surface rust. Totally natural and real patina, not fake.
