No, there are some paints, like many water-based paints, that will not block air and moisture and can not be used on metal . Most solvent based paints, like an alkyd or lacquer, over a proper primer, direct to metal water-based acrylics and multi-part epoxies and urethanes can be used over metal successfully.
