Painting a chain link fence
 

Have an old chain link fence that's starting to rust. I want to paint it
black. What is the best way? One of my concerns is not painting my
neighbor's house:) Recommendations on paint?

Locate a large piece of cardboard, such as a refrigerator
carton. Use that on the opposite side of the fence as a
shield. I'd spray with an airless gun, but guess that
rolling with a 1" pile roller might work also. When
finished, go and to the other side.

sadly it will never look right, at all parts that touch rust will
continue since things touch and move. been there done that..

better to replace mesh and be done with it.

1.) If you're going to do anything with it, do it soon.
The rust is truly your mortal enemy.
2.) If you just paint it black, the rust will bleed back thru
muy pronto.
2.) Surface prep to treat rust can be a severe PITA.
But it's unavoidable.

Back in '97, I treated material rust on my CL fence
with a Rustoleum product, then applied aluminum
paint with a thick nap roller (very messy). The
finish is still good, no rust bleed-thru. Onliest
thing I can recommend (and it doesn't come in black).

Good Luck,
Puddin'

Remove the rust using a wire brush. Prime with rusty metal Rustoleum
primer. Paint with Rustoleum (black) paint. Normally, chain link
fences are painted silver. I recommend using a roller and moving the
roller lengthwise diagonally in the groove of the chain link fence.
The process goes much smoother/faster having someone paint on the
opposite side. Wear old clothes.

Replace the mesh with vinyl coated mesh the coror that you want. Green
and black are readily available. When I had my custom gate made, it
was no extra to get it too.

Al:

Be sure to check with your local building permits office.

Where I am 6 feet or under doesn't require a permit (permit is waived) but
over 6 feet does and it's a fairly hefty price, IMHO, for something as
simple as a fence.

One can't possibly need a permit to paint an
existing fence, so what are you talking about?

A roller works as good as anything I have tried.

This fence is on top of a short block wall and the fence is rusting. The
wall has rust stains on it. That is one reason I want to paint it, to stop
the rust. The other reason is it's in the path of my view. Being galvanized,
it is not as transparent as a brown or black fence would be.

Use a paint sprayer. Should you want to paint the wall, sprayers are about
the best way to paint concrete and cinder block too.

Working in a factory, we found that painting machine guards (usually perf metal) flat black let you see right through them and check operations, while safety yellow just caught your eyes and made it impossible to see through. The same might apply to chain link.

Now, that sounds like real world wisdom. Perhaps
if you had a window screen, paint the outside one
color (for privacy) and the other side for view?

I saw a pickup truck one time, with perf metal
in the back window. From the inside, flat black.
From the outside, a wilderness scene.

10 year old thread, but I'll play along.

If I'm looking to buy (or sell) a house, which of these has more curb appeal?

Definitely the black fence has more curb appeal.

Dawnababes, any luck on the fence? I recently started researching painting my
chain-link fence black and no one talks about it being galvanized... that's a
different story all-together. I planned on rolling the paint on the fence and
found out oil-based paints will have a reaction to the zinc plated or
galvanized surfaces so you'll need to prime the whole thing first.
Double-duty!! Rustoleum makes a chain-link fence paint, but it's not tintable
and is silver... I don't want that either.
was wondering if you found anything that works? Thanks

Get some Rust-Oleum International Orange or White. That's what they paint
communication towers with.

It should last forever with no painting if its properly galvanised.
