I've got several of these to do and am planning to tackle it in the
same way I used to tackle car bodywork in the 70s: grind out the rust,
paint with some sort of anti-rust primer, fill with polyester body
filler, sand, prime and top coat.
Is there anyone here who has renovated Crittall windows and has any
advice (other than replace them)?
...or any car body experts who can suggest primers, fillers and rust
eaters?
Don't know if it applies to yours (the level of rust may suggest not)
but many I see are galvanised steel - hence finding an appropriate
primer that will bond properly is harder.
These are late 30s "arts and crafts", which is before they started
galvanising.
