Default Rusting drip man

I noticed my HVAC drip pan is get a little rust in the middle. Its
made out of galvanized sheet metal and looks like it custom made by
the HVAC installer. The rust spot in the middle is small, maybe 3
inches in diameter but I bet Im looking at $300 or more if I ever have
to replace the thing. I was thinking of pulling it out and soldering
over the spot where the zinc is gone or maybe just paint it with
rustoleum or something.

Any suggestions


Look at the plastic pans that are placed under washing machines. You can get
them at the box stores. It may very well fit your evaporator unit and, if
so, you'll never have to worry about rust again.
