Pipe fences are usually located on ranches and farms and therefore are used to pen cows and horses. These fences are constantly exposed to the elements, and therefore experience a lot of wear-and-tear. You can improve the overall look of the fence and extend its life by painting it.
Scrape away any peeling paint on the fence with a putty knife.
Inspect the fencing for rust. If you find any, scrape away as much as you can with a wire brush, steel sheeting or sanding tools, then wipe the rust spots with a rag soaked in mineral spirits. Some rust may stay, but remove as much as you can.
Cover the rust spots with a rust inhibitor and let it dry.
Wash the fence soap and water to wash the surface.
Paint the fence with a metal priming paint and let it dry. This helps protect the fence against rust and provides a better surface for the paint to adhere to. It’s possible to put on the priming broker with paintbrushes or with a paint glove, which is a glove similar to a oven mitt but covered with the same sort of material according to a paint roller.
Apply a coat of paint into the fence and let it dry. Add a second coat if necessary.
