Painting of forged products. How to paint a metal gate with your own hands

Nowadays decorative elements made of metal occupy one of the leading places in the design of interiors and exteriors. And thanks to the use forged items characterized by special beauty and originality, metal jewelry in design projects is becoming almost irreplaceable.

One of distinctive features forged products of metal is their wear resistance and durability. But, despite this, like any metal products, forged elements are susceptible to negative atmospheric effects, and as a result, the appearance of rust. To prevent such situations, as well as to give them a more spectacular look and match the designer's creative idea, forged elements are covered with special decorative or protective compounds, to put it simply, paint.

How to prepare forging for dyeing

Before starting painting, it is necessary to thoroughly clean the forged product from rust. As a rule, this is done with a regular metal brush. A more expensive, but also better way of cleaning products from rust is sandblasting.

After cleaning from rust and removing dust and dirt from the product, a primer layer is applied, which ensures further high-quality application and retention of the paint layer on the metal. When choosing a primer, you should pay attention to the fact that it would be intended specifically for metal surfaces.

Painting options

The painting of forged metal products is conventionally divided into four main types:

• Regular (budget) painting;
• Textured (blacksmith's) painting;
• Powder coating;
• Electrostatic painting.

Let's consider the features of each type of painting in more detail.

Regular painting. As a rule, ordinary oil or nitro paint is used to paint forged products. Applied to the product with a brush or spray. Differs in low, in comparison with others, price. Possesses minimal anti-corrosion properties. When used outside buildings, it requires a coating with a special anti-corrosion compound to protect the product from rust.

Textured (blacksmith's) painting. Textured paint differs from the usual one in its increased anticorrosive properties, but for outdoor use it also requires the application of an anticorrosive coating. Tests show that some species textured paints protect metal from corrosion for 6-7 years, after which the coating must be renewed. The main advantage of textured paints over conventional paints is their decorative properties.

Textured paints give products a rich, sophisticated color and unique shade. Mostly used for painting wrought iron elements indoors.

Electrostatic painting. The most durable, reliable type of painting forged products, but at the same time the most expensive. Accordingly, really expensive, unique products are subjected to electrostatic painting. Possesses excellent anti-corrosion properties. It is applied in the factory. It is not used in everyday life.

Powder paint for wrought iron

The advantages of powder paints over others are undeniable; they are environmental friendliness, efficiency and durability. Powder coating technology is significantly different from other methods. The name of the paint speaks for itself: painting is done by applying a powder on a special resinous base to the metal. Benefits of powder coatings:

• A wide range of colors and shades;
• High strength and wear resistance;
• Content of only environmentally friendly components;
• Low percentage of material waste when painting;
• No need for special preparation of painted surfaces;
• High anti-corrosion properties.

As with any materials, powder paints have a number of disadvantages:

1. The impossibility of "finishing painting", which allows them to be used only on finished, one-piece products;
2. Restriction of use on non-standard forms;
3. Difficulty of applying at home.

Usually, powder paints applied to finished products, such as forged furniture, in the factory

Painting barbecues and fireplace grates

Special attention should be paid to the issue of coloring products exposed to high temperatures. Such products include barbecues, etc. For such purposes, special heat-resistant paints are used that can withstand a temperature range of 600-8000C. These paints are characterized by an environmentally friendly composition that prevents emission harmful substances under the influence of high temperatures. These paints include organosilicon enamels and special heat-resistant powder paints. In the factory, the method of oxidation or bluing is used.

Forged elements of gates and fences are valued for their decorative properties. However, due to the special configuration, the dyeing process small parts can be confusing. Therefore, gate owners may have questions about how to apply paint.

Paints, varnishes and primers: features of choice

Before you paint a wrought-iron gate, you need to choose a suitable coloring composition. And first of all - a primer, paying due attention in the process of choosing its anti-corrosion properties. The primer will be used as a base, but which type of paint to give preference to is up to you.

Blacksmith paints (patina)- allow you to get a wide variety of shades, are easy to apply and protect the metal from corrosion. In addition, they can be used to create decorative effects"antique" and highlighttexture. A quick-drying patina spread among the craftsmen.WS Plast, which allows you to create the appearance of decoration in bronze, silver, greenery, copper.

Textured paints - give the surface a special texture, are mainly used for painting forged elements indoors, have anti-corrosion protection. With paint"Forha" can make the surface rough, matte, stylize the object like aged bronze or dark graphite. To use textured paints outdoors, it is best to top them with a colorless protective varnish. Dye Hammerite is used to apply on hardware, and on a rusty surface as well. Used to give the appearance of hammer hand embossing, hides irregularities. Special flakes give the final pattern a characteristic pattern, while silicones conceal the texture.

Aerosol paints. One of the most common - Nerjamet Aerosol - allows you to paint hard-to-reach places.

Surface preparation and painting

How to paint a wrought iron gate if the surface is not ready? First you need to clean and degrease the metal using solvent-based sandpaper orabrasive sandblasting. After that, the product is covered with a primer and stained in one of the ways.

Brushit is better to choose a rounded shape with stiff bristles. The disadvantage of this type of staining is the appearance of possible traces of carelessness in the process.

Aerosol painting - paint is used in spray cans, which must be applied by spraying.

Powder coating - it is advisable to use it only in cases where the installation is carried out without welding works... Otherwise, the paint may burn out during the welding process, and it is impossible to touch up the damaged area.

Electrostatic painting - reliable, but expensive due to the need to use special equipment. The paint applied in this way has increased durability.

Patination- decorative elements of the gate can be additionally decorated by adding an aging effect to them using this method. Patination can be thermal or chemical, although recently the use of special paints (patina) has prevailed. For their application, a dry brush is used, on which a very small amount of paint is taken so that the trace from it is barely visible. After that, short strokes are carried out with a brush on the surface. This creates a pattern that imitates scuffs. Alternatively, patina can be applied by hand with cotton gloves over rubber gloves.

Painting forged gratings, canopies, gates, etc. - this is the final stage of their manufacture. The choice of paint for forged products depends on their appearance and service life.

When choosing paint for forged products, only metal coatings should be considered. Considering that ordinary steel is used as a material for artistic forging, which is prone to rust formation, as well as the roughness of the metal surface and the presence of many joints at the joints of parts, paint for forging must meet the following requirements:

1. Contain anti-corrosion components. Painting should protect the forging from rust and impact environment during operation, because often forged products are placed on the street: external fences, visors, lanterns, twisted fences and gates, decorative forged figures, etc.
2. Wide temperature range of use (for outdoor use). The paint must be resistant to temperature changes in the region in which it is planned to use it; for Russia, this range is on average from -40 to +40 ° C. Pay attention to the data indicated by the manufacturer so that the coating does not crack in winter and does not flow in summer.
3. Resistance to mechanical damage. The surface should not be scratched from minor damages and impacts.
4. Have high adhesion. The coating should not flake off during operation. High-quality dyeing allows forged products to look new for several years.
5. UV resistant. It should not fade and change its color.
6. Plastic. It should lie flat on a rough surface, mask welded joints well and paint over hard-to-reach places. This will provide an attractive look. finished product and protect it from rust formation.
7. Environmental friendliness. Choose a non-toxic composition, especially for painting interior wrought-iron products (fireplace grates, lamps, etc.). It is important that the paint is non-toxic not only during application, but also after drying.

If metal patina is chosen as the finishing touch (giving the effect of antiquity), it is necessary that the paint with which the patina is applied lies flat, does not wear off and does not lose color.

For the coating of forged products, the following coloring compositions are mainly used:

• alkyd enamels;
• oil enamels;
• acrylic;
• nitro enamel.

Alkyd and oil enamels give the product a glossy look. They are suitable for both outdoor and internal works... They are made on the basis of solvents such as white spirit. Oil enamels are rarely used for staining forging, as they quickly fade and poorly protect against rust.

Alkyd paints for metal give the product a deep saturated color... They fit well on metal and are resistant to environmental influences. Such coatings are widely used in forging. For example, Certa blacksmith paint has become very popular. This company produces both enamels and patina.

Disadvantage alkyd paints is long drying and toxic. When painting interior forged parts, it is necessary to regularly ventilate the room. In addition, enamels diluted with alcohol are highly flammable.

Acrylic paints belong to the group of water-dispersed substances. Dyed acrylic paint the product has a deep matte shade. The coatings do not fade, do not crack, do not spread, they can withstand high temperatures (up to 120 ° C). The paint is water-borne, however, after drying it is resistant to water. Non-toxic acrylic coatings are very popular in art forging.

Nitroenamels have undeniable merits- they are cheap and dry very quickly. However, their high toxicity and flammability has become the reason for their displacement from the modern forging paint market by more environmentally friendly analogues.

By consistency, all coloring agents for metal are divided into:

• powder;
• liquid.

In the first case, the product is powder coated with its further baking. The need for an oven limits the size of the product that can be dyed in this way. It is best suited for painting large, flat surfaces without curls. In this case, a very even and strong polymer film is formed.

Liquid paints are more versatile, they are suitable for products of any shape. They can be applied with a roller, brush or sprayed from a spray bottle. Compared to powder ones, they are less economical to use, but they allow you to paint over even very small patterned details with high quality. When working with such paints, it should be remembered that in the liquid phase they are toxic.

Application rules

In order for the paint to lay flat, adhering to the metal surface as much as possible, the forged product must be prepared before painting. Product processing steps include:

1. Cleaning the surface from rust and old paint if it is re-staining. It is best to clean the parts with sandblasting equipment, you can also use metal brushes or coarse sandpaper.
2. Degreasing the surface. It is enough to wipe all parts with a rag moistened with alcohol or solvent.
3. Application protective coating to prevent rust formation.
4. Primer. Prepares the surface before painting.
5. The actual application of paint on metal.

Modern paints and varnishes can reduce the number of operations.

Two- or three-pack paints can be purchased, which include both a rust preventive agent, a primer and a decorative paint component.

In this case, the entire process of preparing the painted surface is reduced to cleaning and degreasing.

From the right choice paint, as well as the quality of its application, depends on the type of finished forged product. It can both hide the flaws of production and emphasize the merits of a lattice or a fence, and vice versa, highlight all the shortcomings. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully consider her choice.
