Good morning Community.
As a little project I'm wanting to do is some industrial looking peices of furniture.
I'm looking at using the galvanized pipe from Bunnings.
Once constructed I would like to spray paint the pipe and I want something very durable.
I would love some suggestions
Thank you
Kind regards Rob 👍
Solved! See most helpful response
Let me tag @leon3758 for you as he's shared some amazing industrial-look pipe creations - a desk and some tables.
Also @royq might be able to offer assistance as his steampunk shelves also use gal pipes.
@Simon and @tony-treehouse might also be able to provide helpful advice given their painting expertise.

clean / wipe down with a damp rag in methlated spirit.
once dry and clean of any oil/grease foreign matter apply one coat of galvonised iron primer to achieve adhesion.
lightly sand using fine wet/dry abrasive paper
Apply 3 to 4 even coats of a premium enamel spray pack to build up the microns and achieve a hard durable surface tolerant surface
