Painting the metal legs of a garden table using Hammerite

I picked up this garden table second hand on Ebay and it just needed a little refurbishment.

I rubbed three coats of teak oil into the wooden parts.  Teak oil is cheap and non toxic to work with.  You just rub it on with an old rag.

The metal legs were basically sound but a bit rusty. Because the legs are galvanised metal, I applied one coat of Hammerite primer, which is quite runny but goes on really nicely. You can't put top coat straight onto galvanised metal, so don't be tempted to skip the primer.

I then finished with two coats of Hammerite Straight To Rust Paint in a mice blue-grey colour they call Wild Thyme.  It was pretty gluey as I applied it and quite hard to work with, but the end result was absolutely fine, especially for an outdoor item.

Here are a few pics of the whole process and the end result.  The primer is the red paint.
