From How to Update a Spiral Staircase, Step 5: Apply Primer to Metal Components
After the railings are clean and dry, apply a full coat of Rust-Oleum Rusty Metal Primer. Use a Sherlock Pro Mini 4-inch roller with a 3/8-inch nap for broader, flatter surfaces of the railing. For the intricate designs and tight spaces where the roller cannot reach, use a 2.5-inch throwaway brush to ensure complete coverage. The primer is designed to dry to the touch in 15 minutes and be ready for a topcoat in one hour. Be mindful of drips during application, especially on the underside of horizontal bars.
