I have had vy gud luck with cold galvinizing spray paint.  Some here in
Fla. sprayed onto a slightly rusty spot on otherwise galvanized tower are
still there ok after 7 years.
Also, have gud luck with Hammermill "paint directly over rust" stuff.  The
chemical statement is that it bonds with the rust and makes the rust help
out.  But, I forms such a thick coating, I donna know how it might impede
a connection if needed to clamp onto whatever it is covering.
Had the Hammermill over heavy rust--no scraping even--for two years, still
looks like day I put it on!!  metal was outside all that time.  K4VUD
