Anybody got an opinion about Rustoleum Rust Reformer vs cold galvanizing? Would you use it with cold galvanizing, or alone? 73, Mike NF4L _______________________________________________ _____________

My experience is cold galvanizing applied with a brush is vastly superior to a sprayed application. I have tower hardware that was brushed with cold galvanizing over 35 years ago, which is still exce

My back porch is held up by 4x4 square steel tubing columns from the patio below and 3x8 steel tubing lattice under the porch slab. All this steel was some rusty when installed. I painted it all (wit

In the mid 90s I went in with a couple of guys and bought 400 feet of used Rohn 45 that had been an AM transmit antenna. It was painted red/orange and white. The paint was old enough that it was fad

In Aruba I used Rustoleum rusty metal primer in the bad areas before painting the entire tower with cold galvanizing once or twice a year. I have never seen any primer instructions with the zinc enri

You have several answers, but they don't seem to answer your question directly. http://www.rustoleum.com/MSDS/ENGLISH/3575402.PDF, it appears that it uses tannic acid as a rust conversion compound. T

Thanks, John. Reformer is, I think, a new product that isn't just a coating over the rust, but chemically destroys/transforms it. Guess no one has used it yet. 73, Mike NF4L _________________________

Thanks Patrick. I've had good results with Rustoleum paints also. This is apparently a new product. Mike NF4L _______________________________________________ _________________________________________

Reformer seems to work well. When I have used it has come out flat black like the item was primed. I do not know how it would be under cold galvanizing. I have always just used the cold galvanizing s

Thanks Mickey. Sounds like Reformer or Ospho is a step up from the cold galvanizing coatings. The rust in question is light surface stuff. Mike NF4L _______________________________________________ __

Gee, I hope not. My rusty steel columns painted with no primer 8 years ago with Rustoleum Hammertone Rusty metal paint still look new. If I paint a tower or part of if that is what I'll use. You pays

You snipped the part of my statement that said the tower was located in Aruba. Yes, I painted my Rohn 55G tower once or twice a year with Brite Zinc until I sold the house. The wind and salt spray ca

I've used the cold galvanize spray for touch ups in the past with good results. However two years ago I repainted the entire tower with Rust Bullet which is called a "rust inhibitive protective coati
