Metal paints help protect metals from corrosion by forming a protective layer and giving them a nice shine. The type of primer you use depends on the condition of the metal object. If the metal surface is rusted, the surface needs to be cleaned properly and any rust or residue must be scraped off. Then it must be coated with a layer of zinc chromate primer before applying . Now, if the surface isn’t rusted, the regular full-bodied primer can be applied before applying the metallic gold paint.
