I know this is an old video but man, this video changed my entire Lowes cart! I’ll be doing this exact work on my own fence soon. Instead of getting a scraper and wire brush and painstakingly spending my entire week of vacation on this fence, I just bought this exact setup with a Dewalt grinder and everything else! You probably single-handedly saved me my whole vacation! Thanks! And I can see me using this same equipment on my wrought iron porch furniture. Also sharpening my tools and my lawn mower blades.
a pressure washer and paint stripper is far faster. Hit the loose paint with the pressure washer, then apply the paint stripper, then pressure wash again, comes out cleaner and faster, also there is no dust particles everywhere, just paint chips, much easier clean up.
@@jfiles640 faster but toxic
Nope.
@@jfiles640 they’re removing rust
Phew! looks like a ton of work. The prep job alone is 90% of the work.
John e , always with painting!! Lol
As a weekend warrior I found that The key to any project is having the right tools. Without an air power sander this job would have taken forever.
for those wondering...doesnt matter what grinder you use...all will work...4inch grinder is the generic one...wheel is wire wheel
I agree, labor intensive, But man! Great job guys! Love the color!
Thanks.
Can’t tell you how much time this saves me. I was previously using a hammer, wire brush, and a scrapper. This does a much more thorough job and it’s faster. I have a wrought iron fence with some ornate pieces next which is going to be difficult to do though...

@@jfiles640 how powerful does a pressure washer have to be to remove paint from iron?
@@jfiles640you need marine grade paint strippers to remove the tough metal paint mate. Normal people dont have access or arent allowed to buy marine grade stuff anywhere in the west. If you mean taking a layer of paint of a lump of alloy or a waterbased paint of of iron or steel then yeah but you aint doing tough paint on an iron fence the way you said.
@@jfiles640like a 2k paint will laugh at a normal paint stripper you could use it to polish it with😂
FYI,
Next time use 6mil plastic on ground to catch and loose debris or paint chips due grinding or prepping for that matter. Some old paint may have lead.
nice... where the safety?
who gives a shit about a little lead
@@Chuck-he1jd lol true!
No one is growing crops on the land adjacent to the fence.
you dont use plastic wraping under where you use a grinder. Its one of the causes of accidents people putting stuff around or under where they are grinding. If you are outside you are asking for it. Soon as a grinder even touches anything that wraps up its ripping it clean round the thing at light speed. Bad advice and im a Coach/ Boat builder
Turned Out Really Nice ●☆●
Love The Red !!!!
Red it's just the primer. Rust Destroyer fast dry. Topcoat - Sherwin Williams Corothane.
That's the only way to do it RIGHT...! Just did mine the same way...
Sorry sir, which grinder or grinders are you using if I may ask?
Nice job homie
What about wobbling of the chuck and adapter?
I do the same job on maryland
What tools did you use to remove the rust? I have to do this as well and have no idea the best and easiest way to do it
Use small angle grinder with 36 or 40 grit flap disc. Finish with twisted wire cup attachment. Best flap disc - Norton Blaze 980 and wire cup - Dewalt.
may i ask, how many watts is the grinder you're using?
Windy Painters, I have 45 feet of mildly rusted fence, as well as a few heavily rusted spots along a steel walkway in Chicago. What is a ball park figure I should be paying for the labor portion of getting this grinded, primed and painted?
Thanks guys, great video! Looks sortof like fun!
You can find my contact info at www.windypainters.com. I can meet you to provide a quote.

How much did you end up paying???
whats a Job like this cost?
What kind of grinder is this and what wheel size? Need to get ready for the same job...
Regular Bosh or Dewalt grinder. Norton Ceramic Flap disc 4.5 in.
***HELLO, WHAT TYPE GRINDERS ARE YOU USING?
Could you use a flap wheel with a drill instead, I don't have a grinder?
Go buy one. They are $10 at Harbor Freight stores.
So who cleaned the fence before painting it?
How long to do from start to finish
Barbaric
Also what grit is the Norton ceramic blaze 980 disc
36 or 40
36 or 40.
What grinder are you using exactly?
This is just a video of you working. You have no description of what you're using, what tool to use to get into tight areas, or any other steps to prepare the surface for painting.
Its pretty much a flapper/sander wheel (tiger disc) and a cone style wire wheel with a 5/8 thread nut im assuming.
It's an advertisement, not a how-to video. The guy has ignored all the comments asking for details.
Preparation is 2/3 of any job.....
This is the way to do it correctly.
Grind away all that old flakey rust
and paint.
Or just walnut blast all of it. Much quicker and it will get, well anything.
@@JB-zb9zo walnut blasting is for alloys and you need well over 160psi and a 25cfm compressor to be able to do sand blasting effectively enough that cast iron or steel can be done... even then you dont use walnut mate walnut is the weakest abrasive one of the lot you wont even remove the pitting rust from cast iron with walnut. Im a boat builder we use walnut for stripping back alloys thats about it. Iron we use shot and even they take a while😂 Plus youd need about a ton of the stuff to do it and it would all be "to waste" as its not in a closed system
@@bigduphusaj162 lol, yes, I figured that out since I did my own fence 2 years ago, which is when I posted that comment.
But yeah, you’re right, the me 2 years ago was wrong. 🫥
I can't help but notice the guy priming and heading towards the guy with the grinder. Wouldn't it be funny if the guy grinding asks the guy what is he doing that section for because it hasn't been grinded down yet. You need to start at the other end down here bro.
What do you think about using the polycarbonate disks on an angle grinder for removing rust from an iron fence?
they are a finishing disc they do a decent job of removing a layer of paint with some surface rust. You usually would use a 40 or 80grit sanding flap disc like in the vid to do the first knock back. A 40grit sanding flap disc will easily do shaping even routing your edges and removing lumpy weld marks too so will knock your rough edges off no sweat. If you dont want that level of cut and just want a 1st stage sanding back to take the paint and nothing else then quickly hit it with an 80 flap pad then do the trimming work with the poly finish pad. If you have a good combi drill then but the stainless wire wheel kit for that too you get them in a pack of 3 different ones for like £10 at screwfix etc. they are decent for getting into the arcs and edges and angles that the grinder cant. Im a coach & boatbuilder now originally a spray painter. The paint you want for steel/iron fences is either 2 pack marine paint the stuff for metal hulls or the cheapest but still 15-20yr stuff is the Skip Paint. I use Paint Master Skip & Container paint its old school tough and lasts 10yr even in the harshest conditions
Thanks for your video. I have to paint a rusted wrought iron railing and restore several rusty and flaky radiator covers. I am a DIYer/on a budget. I have a drill, do you think I could just purchase a wire cup for my drill or do I need to invest in some type of flap disk? Thanks
Drill is too slow. Grinder cost around 50$. You can get good flap disc on Amazon for 15$ (Norton ceramic blaze 980). Dewalt knotted wire cup $12.
+Windy Painters Chicago, Inc. What grit of flap did you use?
Machine name ??
question, What kind of flap disk are you using ( I see many in the store ) and why did you alternate to the wire cup instead of just using the flap for the entire job?
We use only ceramic discs Norton Blaze 980 or Twin Fiber. Wire cup was to clean the corners.
Nice. Thanks Im going to try it out. I just purchased a house with some wicked chipping fence. Thanks for the help I will let you know how I make out
lead dust for breakfast shower time is one hour plus free injection of metal brush in your face that's a crasy job
Bob Barker i
lead dust? what you think hes grinding a 200yr old castle fence?
Sounds like he was rushing it
Yes, time is money. He did a good job though.
Slow down, make one careful pass, you'll save your energy
Just doing some research.....I agree with your comment about one pass, or, even, just slow down. Unless this video was tampered with or sped up--this young fellow is not doing himself or employer an favours in these erratic sanding/grinding moves.
ikr. Dudes gunna get a bad kick back one day too just throwing it around. No guard either so soon as it kicks back the gloves getting wound round at 500mpg and his hands getting snapped. Seen this actually happen
No primer?
Primer - Rust Destroyer fast dry. $140 / gallon.
What do you think the red stuff is?
You dont even need primers with some paints mate they work completely different they have acid etch at the first phase of cure. Especiall 2K paints like marine 2k paints they dont need any primer at all. Rust convertor wise if you need to do that plus want a primed surface Aqua Steel is what we use. Im a boat builder
how long you need to spent for grinding one section very rusted?
Greg Magiera until you see the base metal without rust or paint
Lets suppose for example if the damned thing was painted this way in the beginning would it never rust ? Why do people use shit paint and then pay a shit load to get it refinished short time after ?
With Chicago weather it's impossible to avoid rust. Even powder coated or epoxy painter fence will rust eventually.
too fast risk of injury
Dude get some knee pads. You'll thank me when you're 60.
