QuestionIf I use a primer do I need to remove the rust?
Community AnswerOf course. Unless you'd like the primer and paint to look really ugly and shed right off in a month or two. Do it right with automotive primer and paint and you won't have to touch it again for 30 years. -
QuestionWhat about applying a rubberized coating to prevent rust as opposed to a water or acrylic base paint?
Community AnswerI don't recommend it, they aren't very good with UV exposure. The metal just needs to be sealed, it's no different than a car's body. -
QuestionCan I use a pressure washer?
Community AnswerYou can, but you're adding water to cleaned areas to accelerate their re-rusting. It's best to use a power drill with a wire brush after you scrape heavier rust areas with a putty knife. -

QuestionDo I need an aluminum primer for rusty aluminum sheds?
Community AnswerAluminum doesn't rust, but any of aluminum's white chalky corrosion should be fully removed. A metal purpose primer is beneficial and should be used.
