Preping Rear Beam - What Paint To Use?

[Atari Boy 11]

I am in process or rebuilding my rear beam.

I plan to repaint each part as they are all a bit old and rusty. I have used a flap wheel etc to strip away everything so I now have bare metal pritty much.

Should I use Hammerite straight onto the metal or prime it first?

If so what sort of primer would suit it best? As I said most of the meatl in bare but there is still rust etc in curtain places.

 

thanks

hi mate, i just used hammerite straight on after wire brushing and you saw it came up well. no need for primer either hammerite is all 3coats in 1
