How to paint cast iron outside furniture?

Question

we have cast iron and timber outdoor furniture,the wood will be easy to revarnish but the cast iron which use to be dark is now faded and dull,I don't want to paint it because it will either peel off in time or bubble with the sun.How can you bring it up again nicely.I tried to oil it and no different,I thought of boot polish but not sure if it will come off on clothes even if I rub it back.Any suggestions?thankyou.cheers

Answer 1

need to sand cast iron real good then paint with something like rustoluem

Answer 2

I think if you sand and scrape the metal then spray it with "Tremclad" paint it will look good again.
