Hi All,
I am currently looking to refresh a metal (might be galvanised iron?) cabinet in a 1960s home, which I will assume is painted with lead paint. There is heavy rusting inside the cabinet (see images), but the outer surfaces are in fairly good condition. It is also not detachable, so brush painting may be my only option if ventilation is an issue.
I have looked into potential preparation steps that do not involve sanding:
1. Treat with White Knight Rust Guard solvent, rust treatment and primer
2. Treat with Zinsser B-I-N Primer Sealer Stain Killer
My questions are:
1. Are there better, safer alternatives to the preparation steps above that will allow me to safely encapsulate the lead paint?
2. What paint would be best suited for ensuring a clean finish with minimal streaks?
Thank you in advance 🙂
