Don't over sand else you'll get back to the metal = corrosion


If you have got this far (to the metal) then a metal primer first should suffice. You can go over the area in quick drying car spray primer, if you're in a hurry


Then oil eggshell roller it, but be careful you don't go to thick and end up with a pitted finish. Personally i'd thin the eggshell a little (white spirit) and brush it out with a synthetic fine filament brush. Don't be tempted to try one heavy coat. The new 2012 VOC compliant paints 'cure' rather than dry, so a thick coat will make the cure process take longer. It will say 18 hrs between coats, it's possible but an extra day is better to allow the coats to harden up. 180 grit flour paper 'de-nib' sanding between coats will help ease the second on greatly. Dust down as you go


Store your brush in water between the coats, not white spirit, as this is a solvent and not a brush cleaner. When you go to reuse the brush, dry it gently with a lint free cloth and ease it with a little paint on a spare bit of clean board or wood. When the whole task is complete, clean your brush in water soluble 'Brush Cleaner' rinse in COLD water and wash with fairy liquid, rinse again. Hot water stiffens a brush to death


Two coats should suffice, but buy some decent paint. Best eggshell on the market is Little Green Co. I use Whites of Brockley & speak to John , every where else is run by muppets


Hope this helps

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.   
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
