| 1244384 | 2011-11-19 23:33:00 | painting the outside of a timber weatherboard house. the little metal joiners that join the boards are slightly corrroded. do i just sand them back and then just slap the house paint over the top or do i need to prime them with a specific metal primer first to arrest any further corosion. cheers |
