How to paint metal?
#5
Polish it up and give it a thin coat of boiled linseed oil and leave to dry for a few days, worked fine for me...
For colour add a pigment to your linseed oil, natural pigments are available from various suppliers, as I live in Germany I would use Kremer Pigmente...

The nice thing about this method is its easy to renew the finish or remove it entirely with pure Turpentine.
For a black finish heat it gently untill it turns black...

"And the four bare walls stand on the seashore. a wreck a skeleton a monument of that instability and vicissitude to which all things human are subject. Not a dwelling within sight, and the farm labourer, and curious traveller, are the only persons that ever visit the scene where once so many thousands were congregated." T.Lewin 1867
