Maybe redo your first post so it is understandable.
What is a "steel suit hunger?"

I prefer Rustoleum high gloss black from an aerosol can for projects like that.

In the US that's a simple coat tree, dime a dozen.
If in the US I would have suggested having it powder coated.
One of the many reasons I wish that would require a location when posting.
At least 99.9% of the people posting here are from the US and have no idea what products are avalible there.

More suggestion is welcome, how can I used powder coated with oven. And how will I do priming

Joecaption - this is the same OP who posted about the steel kitchen rack that hung off the tile. Lagos, Nigeria. Must not have the help there.

is it a crime to post, Nik33, can you please point out the accept of rules and regulations that I violated or you are saying this because I came from Africa. I need explation please

No, it is not a crime. The guys trying to help you have said that it's hard when this is a US based chatroom and they don't know what options you have there, codes, laws or materials. When I lived in Zaire, we used South Africa as a source of information.

Thank you, kindly please explain " you will get baked on finishing" and if I can get you, you said I should use brush to apply it. I won't mind if u can explain how I can get it painted and my finished work will be supper

The RustOleum is an oil-based product. Using a paint brush, you can brush it onto the metal. The first coat will not cover completely. Let it dry for 24 hours. Setting it out in the sun (I think it's pretty warm where you are) will heat up the metal and create a good drying process. After 24 hours, give it another coat using your brush. After that 2nd coat, it will produce a nice, hard, glossy finish. Hopefully, you have access to Rustoleum type products in Nigeria.

Shouldn't he apply a coat of primer? I won't paint anything without primer unless it's an encapsulator.

Wouldn't hurt. Don't know how available ANYTHING is in Nigeria.

Thank you all, unfortunately rustoleum oil paint is not currently available in Nigeria except for the spray type which I don't think it can really work for the above image, I will like suggestion of more paint type that can give the above finish look.

I see no reason spray type Rustoleum won't work being it is a very common method of painting.

A suggestion: tell us what paints are available to you.
