I had an outdoor gas line installed recently (black pipe) and it began to
rust within a week. I steel wool-ed it and coated it with linseed oil,
problem solved and it looks so nice and shiny.

Gas company just replaced all their pipe in our neighborhood this year.
The
installers painted the pipes at the outdoor meter with utility gray Krylon
spray. They left a carton of six cans behind in my yard. Need some?
