Painting Railing

Of major note this trip was how much rust had developed on the railing.  And it had been at least two years, probably more, since they had been painted. 

This was a lot MORE than a simple coat of paint.  There was a lot of rust.  So bought a drill end wire brush and proceeded to wire brush all sides of all the metal work making up the railing.  Then proceeded to sand with coarse metal sandpaper, then fine metal sandpaper. 

Wipred down all the metal, then proceeded to repaint.  In some areas Jim needed to put on two coats so as to get adequate coverage.  However, in the end, all of the upper veranda railing is repainted; ready for new layers of rust!

I like the way this outer corner looks with fresh paint on it.  Went from ugly to beautiful again!
