Sand blast first, any scale will cause paint to peal no matter how good it is. I like acid etch epoxy primer and 2 part epoxy, it's expensive but really tough stuff.

Thanks for Sharing Black Frog . Like The Idea !! ;)  ;)

Your table looks great! Looks like the start of a product line to me!

I think you have a winner there! I like the design you came up with for the top.

Wow! What a beautiful and ornate design on a planter. Like the perfect uniform scrolls, curves and arches. I'm sure she likes it and requested for another one. Great job!

Really nice scroll work. Well done.

Thanks for all the kind words!

I finally got around to getting a quote from a local blast shop for doing the sandblasting and powder coating, cheaper than I had expected and I'll be letting them do the work.

 

Hopefully I'll get it into them in the next week.
