Painting Railings

[telboy]

We're having terrace wall railings constructed by our local Carpinteria de Metalica, they paint the primer base coat, deliver and fit them, but they don't apply the finished coat. I have seen a metalwork finishes on railings in our local town of Loja which are a kind of matt charcoal colour with a brushed or more accurately a powdered finish (I think is the technical term).

Does anyone know whether this is a paint finish supplied by DIY stores, or, is it a service done by a professional paint spraying outfit

We have railings around our pool which were also made and finished in a primer base.. I bought a black mate paint specially for iron work and it looks like you say..powdered...it sparkles in the sunlight. I do however prefer the gloss finish to the iron grills around the windows and the gates look better in a gloss finish but the railings do look nice in mate. I applied it using both a very small roller and a brush You can get it in any paint store, the tin i bought has a picture of iron work on the label.

Hi telboy,

I've used Titan paint for metal work in Spain.........with very good results.....painted some metal supports 16 years ago and still good , south facing and in full sun.
Printed on the Tin..........esmalte antioxidante oxiron martele martelado negro grafito...... This one gives a hammered effect .

Have the Painter round (management doing the interview ) as I type this with a view to do the Rejas, Terrace railings and House.
