What kind of paint can be used on a aluminum exterior door that is rusting?

Question

I have a front door that I believe is aluminum or steel. It has rust spots and I want to paint it. It makes the the front of my home look bad.I am trying to avoid having to purchase a whole new door.Other than the couple of rust spots the door is still in pretty good condition.I just do not know what kind of paint to buy to paint it.

Answer 1

rustolium

Answer 2

You can purchase aluminum & other colors of paint at most any Home Store or Walmart.  You could spray some rust cover first, so the finish coat won't show spots.

Answer 3

You need to scrub & sandpaper as much of the rust off as you can. Then prime it with either rustolium as suggested or read the paint tins & find a paint containing rust inhibitors. For best results use two coats of primer & topcoat overlapping each layer as you do. Also allow to cure properly between coats.

Answer 4

Aluminum doesn't rust so it must be steel.  Rustoleum makes a great product you can paint on right over the rust.  Sand the spots first to make sure the finish is smooth!

Answer 5

rustoleum makes a great product...good luck

Answer 6

Get rid of the rust using rustoff, then paint with rustoleum ( 2 coats )
