Phenolic bed plates are lighter than metal bed plates and
great for use in a printing press that uses water based ink because these types
of plates will not get rusty like metal plates will.
You need to buy a
special paint for metal with special additives that prevent rust. Make sure to also buy a primer that is compatible
with the paint you have selected. I
found you some great instructions that should help you out.
• Wipe
the wrought-iron bed frames with a rag that was dipped in mineral spirits. That
will help you to remove all traces of oil and grease from the frames.
• Scrape rusty
areas with a putty knife or scraping tool. Remove all loose rust scale. Rub the
surface with steel wool, too.
• Apply an oil-based primer. The primer needs to be designed for
use on metal surfaces such as wrought iron. Roll on the primer with a small
roller. Spread the primer with a paintbrush. Cover the whole surface with one
coat of primer.
• Paint the
bed frames with a finish paint that has a rust inhibitor within 24 hours of
priming them. That will help the primer and paint bond.
• Roll on the
paint in the same way you applied the primer. Use a paintbrush to make smooth,
sweeping strokes to distribute the paint. Switch to a paintbrush with synthetic
bristles if you decide to use a water-based paint.
