what would you (or anyone else) recommend for the best stuff to paint a
non-galvanised, rusting, outside steel balcony with then Bookworm. ?

Finnegan's "Brown Velvet" then some sort of gloss.


Ours is suffering badly where the previous owners used to bodge it up
with normal gloss paint once in a while.

and... :¬) what would be the best method of preperation to halt
existing rust?

I am thinking a compressed air "needle gun" for initial attack of paint
& rust flakes.

Wire cup brush on 9" angle grinder. Use a knotted cup brush to get rid
of heavy deposits.
