Guide to painting bolts sand the bolt x27 s surface

Guide to Painting Bolts Bolts are usually very tiny and can be very di ?cult to paint Some bolts are of a regular size but it is still not easy to paint them because they have grooves on the side It requires a steady hand and a good kind of paint that does not chip o ? when the bolt is screwed on The usual problem with painting bolts is that the paint comes o ? after the bolts are tightened To prevent the paint from coming o ? the paint must be meticulously applied to the bolt Sand the Bolt's Surface It is important to prepare the surface of the bolt before painting To do this you must sand the bolt in preparation for painting The purpose of sanding is to make the surface smooth Paint will adhere better when the surface you are painting is smooth The bolt may not attach properly if there are lumps after it is painted Sanding is important especially if the bolts are a little rusty Sand the bolt with good-quality sandpaper until all the rust is removed and the bolt is again smooth and rust-free To remove rust from hard-to-reach places you may also use a steel brush Do not skip this part of the process of painting The end result will greatly depend on how well you sanded your bolts before painting them Once the bolts are all clean it is best to wipe a little petrol on them to remove any remaining dirt or grease Never wash or soak the bolts in water this will only get them rusty all over again Grease and oil will prevent the paint from adhering well to the bolts It may peel or chip o ? when it dries Apply Primer After the bolts have been properly sanded it is time to apply several coats of primer to them Any ordinary paint will not do It must be paint speci ?cally for priming Red lead is one of the best primers for painting on metals Give the entire bolt a thorough coat of primer You may even add another layer of primer once the ?rst coat dries This will give the bolt more protection against rust It will also make the paint on your bolts last longer CFinishing paint will not adhere well to the bolts if they are not primed ?rst Even if you decide to use a spray paint to apply the ?nishing paint to your bolts you still need to apply a coat or several coats of primer to them Apply the Top Coat Once the primer has dried the top or ?nishing coat can be applied You can use any kind of exterior paint that is of good quality so that it lasts longer All your e ?orts to sand and prime the bolts will be wasted if you use low-quality ?nishing paint There are also paints made speci ?cally for metals Acrylic latex paint is usually the best paint
