Painting Cast Iron Guttering - Lechler Epoxy

[M@tt]

I've just removed ~70m of cast iron guttering from our house to go off to be shotblasted and then i'm planning on painting it it with Lechler Epoxy 29107.

If i get a 5l tin of this tinted black can i just leave the guttering at that or will it need some other type of coat over the top of it?

cheers

best paint for the inside of the gutters is bitumen paint over the epoxy primer .outside whatever u feel best

You would need to paint over the epoxy.

Epoxy is not uv stable so would need a coat of something on top of it

Thanks gents

I thought that was going to be the case

I'll bitumen the insides but i'm wondering what paint i could whack through my spray gun to do the exterior as i don't fancy hand painting all of it if i can avoid it. I think exterior gloss isn't going to thin to well without losing its shine and doing COB would work out pretty time consuming and expensive.

Any suggestions/recommendations?

Manor paints high build vinyl is the usual paint for ''wrought iron'' railings, gates etc & can be put directly on to new galvanised without the need to prime. downside is it's= expensive!!
