I'm about to enbark upon a tower painting project on Aruba.  In past years 
I've used various products such as ZRC Cold Galvanizing Compound, POR15, and 
Brite to name a few with varying degrees of success.  The conditions on 
Aruba are extreme....with constant salt and wind  with sand that tends to 
etch the steel, especially on the east side of towers..

I just read the specs on a product called Rust Bullet.  Apparently it 
chemically combines with the rust and claims to be UV resistant (unlike 
POR15).  They recommend two coats.

Has anyone used Rust Bullet to repair tower rust....or does anyone have 
other product recommendations?
