The house we purchased last year has a metal outbuilding and a shed in the backyard. The structure of the buildings is still great but the outside of them is not so nice with some rust spots and peeling paint in a few places. How can we make them look more attractive?
I think you should replace the rusted parts by cutting and welding and repaint the whole thing to make it look better. If the rust is just on spots and not too much, cleaning and painting would arrest it.
For me it would depend on how much rust and peeling paint, thickness (or gauge) of the building material, size of the building, etc. But why not just clean up the rust and peeling paint with a wire brush, wire wheel, or a sander, depending on the extent of the problem, and paint it with Rustoleum.
You just need to remove the rusted parts by cutting and welding and then repaint the entire thing to make it look better.
