Default Washing machine basket rust - possible to fix, or buy new basket?

Hi, I have a 4-year old Kenmore Elite washer:

Serial: CK 4702946

Model# 110 20932993

The basket has spot rusts on it, around a few of the little holes. It's
starting to make rust marks on our clothes.

Is it possible to epoxy over the rust spots? Or will I have to buy a
new basket?

I currently have an Email to Sears to see if it's under warranty.


My kenmore washer is rusty too.
I use an expensive spray can of white epoxy enamel paint on it after
sanding and wirebrushing the rust spots down to bare metal. Several
coats per instructions on the can.

It lasts about 3 years and then I do it again.
