Vijay Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Bought some new Kwikstage and the finish on some of it is just dreadful. I need to get some paint that I can slap on it in places to stop it rusting. I wondered if red oxide paint would do the job and is it UV resistant?

Simplysimon Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 the guys putting mine up commented as to how crap it it was, 'why' i asked, 'the amount of rust on it' was the answer. they still put a ticket on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you have new or used? The only reason I want to slap some paint on when needed, is to try and keep them as sellable as I possibly can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russell griffiths Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 E bay, had a load of paint used for shipping containers, must be tough if they put it on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterW Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 We use Johnstone’s Agricultural Oxide paint on this sort of stuff - quick wire brush off the rust and it’s good for 10 years https://www.johnstonestrade.com/product/agricultural-oxide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
