I would like to order a shoe rack that is described as "Iron frame with satin pewter". This seems vague and it is from china. To be on the safe side, I would like to paint it with something to seal in any off gassing that may occur. Would this product be appropriate for that? I have always thought all these wire storage racks that you get from places like Home Depot are not likely to be toxic and I have many of those, not sure how true that is, but this shoe rack looks to be more of painted finish than the typical wire racks and has 'metal mesh' for shelves.

Depending upon what the iron frame was painted with, one can't assume it will be toxic or non-toxic. If it does seem to be off-gassing, you can use one coat of our AFM Transitional Primer and another coat or two of our AFM Zero Semi-Gloss paint. These used in combination will block VOC emissions.
