I found duplicolor etching primer to work really well,Jerry84 wrote:Wanted some advice on a diy project. I am repainting a fridge which got some rust spots. I sanded the surface but was wondering if I should treat the rust prior to priming and painting.
If I am to treat the rust what's the process and what should I use?
My idea is to use a roller to apply a thinned out version of automotive black paint (yes a color change). Anyone ever tried this before?

How is that?

so when they put it on top the purlin and galvanize right on it, there is no air space.
a local guy recommended letting it sag between purlins to get air space.
i retrofitted on a shed by sticking it under the purlins, made a huge difference.De Dragon wrote:pugboy wrote:the way it normally installed is very ineffective

My driveway covered by the shed had the reflective barrier literally destroyed by high wind, and oddly the temps aren't that unbearable during blazing hot sun. Organized to have it redone this month. I guess the sheeting used plays a part re painted vs unpainted.
What do you intend on treating the rust with?? Also what primer would you use?pugboy wrote:boy I have a fridge where rust popping up, but I dont want to take down the fridge and have it out of commission

pugboy wrote:if you have plenty air passing under it helps cool the place but on a still day is when you will feel the radiated heat esp if it is a low roof.
to retrofit the best way is to use 3m vhb tape every few feet on the purlin and pull the barrier tight and stick it
then screw thin flat pieces of wood to keep it permanent.
the better barrier is the bubble type one, not the papery one.De Dragon wrote:pugboy wrote:yeah most them contractors are woft
