I’m making a lead weight for a piece of equipment that will mostly stay outdoors. Pouring the weight is no big deal, I have that covered. The poured finish will be pretty smooth - plenty smooth enough to paint. Its gonna look like a round top muffin or cake about 12” across and about 3” thick. I have plenty of scrap lead and a steel mold for this.
I’d like for the weight to look finished and presentable, not just bare oxidized lead.
Does anyone have a suggestion for painting on the lead? What primer, what paint? Bedliner perhaps?
I’ve also considered pouring it in an aluminum cake pan and letting the pan be the finish.
Your informed suggestions are welcomed.
