I painted a stick of it 15.00 years ago or so with a 2 part epoxy paint that
we used to paint HV outdoor switchgear with. It still hasn't rusted after
all these years and I used for the driveshaft on my current tower. DuPont
makes a paint called    Imron  that I understand to be in the same family.
Haul it over to a Auto  Body shop and they be glad to spray it as they mix 2
part paint all the time. Good luck Gene K2QWD

I am looking for 20'-23' or so of 2" diameter .250" wall mast. I found a
local supplier that can sell me it at 14.20 per foot which works out to 284
dollars. That's a delivered price. The only thing is, it is not galvanized.
What are the thoughts on this? Will this material rust fast enough that it
may fall apart in 5-10 years? I know it won't be shiny...
