[TowerTalk] Tri-Ex rigid base

[Grant Saviers]

I assume it was hot dip galvanized so you could have that redone at any 
galvanizer - best way to go.

Otherwise wire brush by power and hand off the surface rust, dirt etc 
and paint with Rustoleum rattle bottle Rusty Metal brown primer then 
grey primer (so you can see the coverage) then 2 costs of whatever color 
you like.  That will last about as long as the HDG.

I have this Rustoleum and process on tractor equipment left outside 
20years w/o rust.  No other big box paint comes close.
