I just ordered a replacement 97006987G motor bracket, fan and assembly
for my 23 year old Broan model 684 bathroom fan. The old one was
painted steel, and turned to a bucket of rust.

The specification sheet at the Broan web site states that the new 684
"housing" is galvanized (I missed that qualifier... I thought it was
all galvanized.) Not only is the fan bracket not galvanized, but it's
raw freakin' steal with not even a coat of paint. What garbage.
Don't buy one of these.

I need to give the bracket a good coat of primer and paint that will
resist rust. A really good primer. Would 'yall please make some
recommendations about the brand and type of paint and primer I should
use?

I'm looking for something better than Rust-Oleum, and I don't mind
going to an industrial supply house or the internet to get it.

Thanks.

Hidden down an alley off a back street in an industrial part of your
town you wouldn't want to be in after dark, there's a guy in an old tin
shed who does industrial metal finishing. He's got a picture of Ronald
Reagan on the wall of his office - an office that hasn't been cleaned in
at least twenty years. Take him a quart of Jack Daniels black label and
ask him to throw your stuff in with his next batch of "powder coating"
in any color similar to the one you really want.
