I primed wrought iron porch supports with oil but brush marks are very
apparent. The supports have lots of filigree design set between iron
tubes. Would enamel spray paint from a can, like rustoleum or krylon,
provide a smoother finish and be as durable as a quality brushed on
enamel?
Thanks.

I used it on a gate back in the 80s. Haven't had to do anything to it
since and it still looks great.

Krylon and Rustoleum have been around forever, but the Krylon anti-
rust came years after Rustoleum. Performance might be a standoff, but
I like Krylon for the nice finish on most projects and Rustoleum seems
to take the weather beatinga little better. Flip a coin, I suppose!

I'd probably go with the Rustoleum. However with primer with bush
marks, the spray paint may not hide the brush marks.

The biggest issue with spray cans is the type of nozzle they give you.
The ones that are just a plastic knurled cylinder with a hole in it
are crap. They may be OK for deoderant but not for painting. The blue
ones with the visible wire in the slot in the back are a whole lot
better (Ace hardware uses these). That shoots a fan spray instead of
the spattering circle you get from the other one.
