Sounds like you used whatever you had instead of paint specifically
intended for this purpose. And exactly how did you prerare the
surface? How did you apply the paint?

it was a rustoleum product, it's called a rust converter, oppossed to
being a blocker
it's creates a chemical reaction in the steel.. vs.. masking it.. they
only sell one brand at lowes or hd...

i painted 8 - 8x8x20' foot steel sq tube columns

i used a scraper to get the existing peeling paint off, then buffed
the rusted places with a wire brush... you're not gonna get all the
rust off.. and it dont' matter.. you'll be converting the rust..
