Van -
I've successfully used Rustoleum cold-galvanizing spray in the past, so
that's one approach.
Last year, however, I discovered a product that I believe is even better -
Rust Bullet. This coating can be applied directly over light rust, It
claims to penetrate the rust and bond with the metal. I've used it here on
some tower sections and it looks very good. Time will tell how it works,
but I get the impression it does what the manufacturer claims.
Check out www.rustbullet.com. The site has a very detailed description of
the product, test results, etc.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Rusty tower
I am ready to start the project of restoring an old Hy Gain HyTower. It has
a number of surface rust spots on about 30% of the galvanized surface.
Anyone have experience in removing the rust and know a better way than the
Steel brush. Any suggestions on what to paint it with all over once the rust
is gone. Thanks for your help. Van W4GIW
