Painting rusted baseboard
I have very little painting expierence. I have about a 2 foot section of rusted baseboard I wish to paint. The baseboard is in my basement bathroom.
Can I get some help on what type of paint to use and prepartation ?
Since it my basement I can live witha less that professional job.
Thanks

I don't believe I have ever run across any steel baseboard.
It would be best to sand off the rust down to clean metal. Then prime with oil base primer [rust inhibitive primer would be best] and then finish with oil base enamel.
