Once the primer is completely dry, you can proceed to apply the top coat of exterior metal paint. Choose your desired color and apply it using smooth, even strokes. Similar to the primer, avoid overloading the brush to prevent drips. Depending on the brand and type of paint, you may need to apply more than one coat to achieve full coverage and durability. Always refer to the manufacturer's instructions for recommended recoating times and the number of coats required. Allow the final coat to dry completely.
