The most efficient way of painting these type of fences is to...
A. wire brush any loose debris or surface rust away.
B. sand any uneven or rough surfaces.
C. scuff the previous coat.
D. use a good quality DTM (Direct to Metal) paint. These come in an acrylic water base as well that dries to an epoxy like hardness.
E. Using rubber gloves covered with inside out tube socks works the best for flexability and finish. (a painting mit tends to leave fibers behind)
TIP: To Paint Wrought Iron with Graphite In order to make wrought iron look like new mix fine graphite with equal parts of varnish and turpentine oil, adding a little siccative. Paint the iron parts with this twice, allowing to dry each time. Especially the second coating must be perfectly dry before further treatment. The latter consists in preparing graphite with spirit (INDUSTRIAL AND POTABLE ALCOHOL)and applying it very thinly over the first coat. After the drying or evaporation of the spirit the graphite last applied is brushed vigorously, whereby a handsome, durable gloss is produced.
A rust inhibiting paint (Rustoleum or similar) is your best choice for paint. A narrow brush (1 - 1 1/2 inch) with a slanted tip gives you good control and appropriate coverage.
Start by cleaning the fence, scape loose paint and sand any patches where paint is bubbled. Prime all sanded and bare areas of the fence. Working slowly and carefully apply your paint.
If the paint you are using is oil based work from wet to dry, if it is latex, work dry into wet.
Depends if it's newly made or old ( and then usually painted many times). Always prep it well first, bearing in mind it's prior state. I generally spray it with aerosols if there's not much, or with a spray gun if more than a few feet of it.
Use a wire brush to get rid of any loose parts, then put a cardboard sheet behind it and spray it. I generally do a primer over all of it first.
Rustoleum makes a metal primer specifically for this purpose. Then, apply their paint over the top. Black looks especially good on wrought iron.
You can use spray paint on wrought iron railing successfully as long as the proper preparation is done. Make sure the surface is clean and free of rust and scale, apply a primer to all bare metal, then apply several thin coats of the paint, ensuring solid coverage with no pinholes.
Not enough info. It depends on the size of the panel and the coverage of the paint.
I always use a paste type paint stripper. My favorite is 'Circa 1850' -If you use this BE CAREFUL, it's a very corrosive solvent. Use gloves, and dispose of the waste properly.
Get expensive spray paint in the can, not the cheap stuff. And first scrub the iron of all dirt and put a thin layer of spray let it dry and repeat. Place cardboard behind the fence and tape up anthing that you do not want to become the color you are spraying. Very in expensive and easy to do yourself.

Wrought iron can rust if not properly maintained. If the paint, if it is painted and not powder coated, chips then rust could for on the exposed areas. Clean wrought iron with soap and water using a nonabrasive cloth and touch up any spots where the paint in chipping.
Always wash your wrought iron patio furniture with warm, soapy water. You may want to wash wrought iron patio furniture every spring and fall and anytime in between when it needs it. Damage to the paint finish of your wrought iron patio furniture may cause corrosion, so when you see a nick in the paint you will need to touch it up immediately.

Wrought Iron
Pig iron is generally an intermediate product of the wrought iron and steel making process. Pig iron is virtually useless due to the very high impurity content. "Pure" is a strange quantification of the comparison between pig iron and wrought iron. Pig iron is pure pig iron and wrought iron is pure wrought iron if there is a "standard" for the respective materials. I'm guessing that the answer you want is that wrought iron is "more pure."
