Hi all,
Looking to re-paint my inventory of (20) 10' sch.40 lighting pipes and 50lb. round bases. They started as bare metal pipe from Home Depot, and have been sprayed over and over numerous times throughout the years with cheap flat black spray paint, and continue to chip and scratch very easily each use as they are handled, moved and fixtures are attached. Because of the numerous layers of paint build-up, we're planning on sanding / grinding the old paint off and getting back to the bare metal so we can lay a fresh coat of paint.
My expertise ends here...what's the best paint (types, models, etc) and method to ensure this pipe stays looking fresh for the long run? Any primer needed? I have small paint sprayers available or can use spray paint, whatever works better and is more cost effective. Looking forward to your thoughts. Thanks in advance!
