It doesn't necessarily "keep on growing". I have some bits of steel
in my garden (South Suffolk) which I have painted with the "Vernis
pour Rouille" that I mentioned earlier in this thread and the rust
colour under the varnish just remains ast it was when I originally
painted them. Vernis pour Rouille is actually advertised as a way of
preserving the rust coloured look of bare iron and steel.

We're talking car bodywork here. The steel and paint used is rather
different to the sort of steel you'll find in a garden.

I have actually used Vernis pour Rouille on a little patch of rust on
our Citroën C5, it seems to be working there as well. I also use it
on our steel boat in France (that's where I first discovered and used
it).
