I have some antique cast iron wish bone lathe legs. I took them to be sandblasted.
I plan to spray them with Rust-olium. I am going to prime them today. I was going
wipe them down with thinner and spray away. Does this sound like the way to go.
Thanks in advance, Kevin

You could use stove paint on it

Rust-o-leum is made to do just that.
Never, under any circumstances, consume a laxative and sleeping pill, on the same night

Sounds fine. You could also use a coat of self-etching primer if you really felt like it. I find that it gives a more uniform look when done but that's splitting hairs.

If they are worth the investment how about powder coating, or even chrome..........?

Ive done that a couple different times with cast iron. Worked fine. Held up a long time outside.

If you want, prime with the Rust-O-Leum primer but CI seems to be so "toothy" that the oil based paint sticks pretty darn good even without.
The "professional" stuff dries a lot quicker than the original formula.

I like the look of Hammered paint.
