Hello Towertalkians
As a sideline to the blend-in painting question, I have perhaps a more
basic query: What paint to use in re-coating towers (Rohn 45 in this
case)? I have been told to use Rustoleum Cold Galvanizing spray
(industrial part #2185, consumer part #7785). This has potentially two
disadvantages: 1) cost ($6+ per can -- $10+ for the "bright" version
#2117; 1+ can/section) and more importantly 2) vapor inhalation risk -
this stuff is dangerous to breathe.
I have therefore been looking for a brushable, canned variety. The only
thing I have found so far is Valspar Marine Primer #3084, Vinyl Zinc
Chromate. Has anyone used this? Has anyone any other recommendations?
Thanks and 73
