I am thinking of painting my rusted 180cm dish and need advice on the type of paint, do i use the kawaida house paint or do i go the one used by metal welders? How do i achieve a smooth finish?
you are painting metal, aren’t you?
Enda kwa spray painters wa magari wakusaidie. Hiyo rust lazima kwanza itolewe ili wa-paint.
Take a fine sandpaper and sand away all the rust Kisha chukua red oxide and paint your dish. After it has dried you can then apply the normal paint
My thoughts: dish iko sensitive to grooves uki paint avoid bumbs and making uneven surfaces… Do a fine job
Now let him bring us images as proof that he did it!
@viallge chieth… inakuwanga red oxide ama lead oxide? hapo sijawahi elewa…
as long as its matt paint also ensure to make it thin as possible
I opted for spray painting. Shiny black.
lead oxide…
Red oxide at times used as a primer to metal surfaces.
Red oxide. Kutu.
google is your friend
I don’t know about paint matters, but may be you could ask the “prime metal welder” this question.
Kutu ni iron (III) oxide. Fe2O3
Thread complete, hehehe
So whats your point?
That you were wrong. Its just a correction, dont take it personaly
its same shiet or a blend of it. or you are mistaking red for an element?

I paint Satellite Dish, mainly space themed, but have done some by request for just about anything. Just started at the start of the year and really enjoying it. Many of these dish also GLOW in the Dark, but been unable to get any decent shots with my camera. But they are something to see at night!
All done with canned paint only.
