At Fourmi Rouge, we provide professional wrought iron restoration and painting services in Montréal, Laval, Longueuil, the North Shore, the South Shore, Blainville, Terrebonne, Mirabel, Brossard, and surrounding areas. We follow a detailed restoration process that includes surface inspection, rust removal, sanding, metal preparation, repairs, rust treatment, priming, and precision paint application to restore and protect wrought iron surfaces with a smooth, durable, and long-lasting finish. We use premium-quality metal primers, rust-resistant coatings, and professional-grade paints designed to withstand Québec’s harsh weather conditions while enhancing the appearance and durability of your metal structures. Whether you need wrought iron fence painting, railing restoration, balcony painting, gate refinishing, staircase restoration, or exterior metal painting, Fourmi Rouge delivers reliable, high-quality wrought iron restoration services tailored to your property and built to last.
1. Inspect the wrought iron

Check railings, fences, stairs, gates, balconies, or metal structures for rust, peeling paint, corrosion, cracks, loose parts, or surface damage.

2. Protect the surrounding area

Cover nearby surfaces, plants, floors, concrete, siding, and fixtures with drop cloths, plastic, and masking materials to prevent dust and paint overspray.

3. Clean the surface

Remove dirt, grease, dust, mildew, and debris using appropriate cleaning products and pressure washing if necessary.

4. Remove rust and peeling paint

Scrape, sand, wire brush, or grind the surface to remove loose paint, rust, and corrosion until the metal is smooth and properly prepared.

5. Sand the metal

Sand rough edges and remaining imperfections to create a clean, even surface that promotes strong paint adhesion.

6. Repair damaged areas

Tighten loose sections and repair minor damage or weak spots where needed before painting.

7. Remove dust and residue

Thoroughly wipe and clean the metal surface to eliminate sanding dust, rust particles, and contaminants.

8. Apply rust treatment

Treat rust-prone areas with a rust converter or protective treatment to help prevent future corrosion.

9. Prime the wrought iron

Apply a high-quality metal primer designed for wrought iron and exterior metal surfaces to improve durability and paint adhesion.

10. Paint detailed areas first

Use brushes to paint corners, joints, decorative details, welds, and hard-to-reach sections.

11. Apply the main coat of paint

Use spray equipment, brushes, or rollers to apply smooth, even coats of durable metal paint across the entire surface.

12. Apply a second coat

After the first coat dries completely, apply a second coat for maximum protection, color consistency, and long-lasting performance.

13. Inspect and touch up

Inspect the surface carefully for missed spots, uneven coverage, drips, or imperfections and complete all necessary touch-ups.

14. Clean up and final walkthrough

Remove protective coverings, clean the work area, and perform a final walkthrough to ensure a clean, smooth, and professional finish.
