In winter, consider storing it in a dry place to prevent moisture buildup, which can damage both paint and finish.
Good point! One year, I left my painted items outside and lost that beautiful finish. Lesson learned!
I always use a paint designed for metal surfaces; it seems to hold up really well against outdoor conditions. Anyone else have a favorite?

I’ve had a lot of success with enamel paints. They really adhere and hold up nicely.

What about adding a little texture to the finish? Some say it helps with grip and wear over time.

Texture can be cool! But just be careful; a rough surface might trap dirt over time.
Painting is fun, but maintaining it is a labor of love! Don’t forget to enjoy the process too, it’s half the fun!
Can’t wait to start! Just hope I don’t end up painting my hands instead!
