house no. 1 had the steel door frames, and steel window frames. used a primer and a hi gloss paint...
Marine paint, (for boats, durable). apply with foam (brush or roller)
Try Rust-Oleum Protective enamel, Lowe's $10.32 Good Luck!
To end up with a smooth, glossy finish, be sure to start by sanding the frame with 320-400 sandpaper. Be sure to prime any unprimed spots, then use a high quality gloss enamel paint, either sprayed on or applied with a foam roller (I always use a 3-4" ). I have been very pleased with the results I get with marine grade paint, both oil based and latex. Although twice the cost of most paints, it holds up super.
Thank you....I am going to follow your advice
