How to paint wrought iron fence? How to prep?

I have tried googling this to no avail. We have a wrought iron fence that needs repainting. It is currently painted in a green colour but we want to change the colour to suit our newly painted home. 

 

My main query is, what primer do I use? All the info on google explains primer for bare iron. Not already painted iron.

Hi @samkeo,

 

Since the wrought iron is painted, you would follow the application steps for a pre-painted surface. You'll need to give the fence a good scrub down with Sugar Soap and then flush it with clean water. Once dry, apply any standard exterior primer and paint.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.
