Looks great. I’ve done several pieces and on occasion I’ve run into a substance on the metal that resists paint, maybe Armor all or oil so I always wipe everything down with acetone before painting. Tractor supply sells nuts and bolts by the pound so cleaning old bolts is not something I do. Love the gun metal, I’m going to use that on a half rack I’m doing.

I usually sand my equipment down first to get a better hold so I have not experienced that too much. Awesome I would love to see the finished project!

Hi there can I ask I have the same gym below your wall fan I have some rust on it especially the leg pulley section and powder coating is peeling any advise on it and how to fix it Shed leaked and I didn’t realise till I unpacked the shed and found this disaster pls can you help

[@AMREC20]

Hey @GypsiiSOUL That no big deal i would just mask off the rest and sand the rusted area then paint it with a similar colored spray paint. I just used the Krylon grey and it matched up pretty good. It does not need to be perfect but will help the metal from pitting over time.

[@Nukker95]

Did you grind the metal then repaint or did you paint over the paint? Great job

[@AZHighLife]

I would scuff it our with a scotch bright pad and then clean it with a spirit to remove grease or oil then primer then paint

[@AZHighLife]

He also says he sanded it before repainting it
