I plan on painting the interior wooden doors white (they get HOT so a dark color is out) and the metal parts of the storm doors either black or white...I think black...but how to go about it is the question. The brown you see appears to be 40 years of oxidation. Inside, they are black...in places. Can I just scrub them down with steel wool, prime and paint? What kind of paint? Should I used just a Rustoleum spray paint, or use something special, like an enamel?
Pointers from anyone who has painted an outdoor metal surface would be much appreciated.
