Apply at least 2 coats of this product and use a galvanized top coat; I like the cold galvanized spray.
After owning and running offshore trawl boats over 10 years and another 10 years on oilfield vessels I tried just about every product on the market to combat rust. Rust converters best way to go.

After you "paint" the rusty metal this way...... how long does it stay looking good?
