I used the Rustoleum wrought iron textured paint. First, I wired brushed off any loose paint and rust. Then I used the Rustoleum metal primer that seals in and prevents future rust. Then, used the textured paint. I spray painted this time. I found that I got better coverage, more even coats, less dripping and it lasted longer than when I used the same product and applied it with brushes and rollers. (I did it last year and won't have to do it again this year.)

I would go with a spray. You'd get an even coat and minimal/no dripping as opposed to a brush or rollers. There's always the chance of applying too much paint with the brush or rollers, plus texture marks from the brush, as well as dripping. And then when it dries on thickly, you have more chances for chipping and cracking. Spray is your best bet, be sure to get an rust treatment though (or the rustoleum paint works GREAT), to keep it down and looking fabulous.
Good luck to ya! :)

That's a two-part answer. To apply the most paint, and get the best rust resistance - use a brush. For the cleanest looking finish - there's no comparision to to results from spray.
In either situation, surface prep is vital. Consider using a sanding primer if the surface is uneven or rough.

Make a tent out of cardboard on three sides and gently spray your furniture. Wait till one coat is dried and do another coat till it is completely coated. Don't overspray or you'll get drips! Be sure your in a well vented area and the wind is not blowing if doing it outside.

hi
used a good wire brush to remove the rust
sand off any rough edge
and spray paint is the best.
also you can add a coat of clear protector on top

Removing all rust areas, even finish and keep your iron looking better for long time. How to remove it,depends on how large it is. Hand-sand light rust with the emery cloth. Sand or grind heavier rust with the drill and sander attachment.Once completion of removing all traces of rust, keep the stuff from returning by applying a rust neutralizer.

Spray....rollers and brushes leave texture.
