I was inspired to make this sculpture after the birth of my son.

I agree Frank! It's nice to see how UK blacksmiths are working metal. I'll be interested to hear more about the methods of finishing outdoor ironwork.

Welcome to ArtMetal!

Finishing outdoor metalwork

Adrian Wood - Tuesday, April 1, 2008 - 2:08pm

firstly may i say how overwhelmed i am by your fantastic comments it is very much appreciated.
My standard finishing method for out door work is very simple, I just get the items galvanized, it is then acid etch primed and then i apply a coat of hi build vinyl paint (sprayed on) this comes in a huge range of colours, the choice of which is the clients. This gives a great long lasting finish, in fact i have a gate that i made for my in laws and it is 6 years old and the paint has only just started to flake and scuff on the latch, (which is used constantly on a daily basis.) This reminds me i have to touch it up soon!!
