Rust resistant coating
I was told that powder coating paint is very good for rust resistance.
But from what I read, that kind of paint requires heat. Is there something else that will provide excellent rust resistance for metal? Thanks, Andy |

Good paint, like Rustoleum will get you years of service. Prep is critical for a good job so take your time. |

My bosses liked it because it was cheap and available locally. Quality? I really don't remember and had nothing to compare it to. Lots of products pop up in a search for corrosion resistant coatings. |

If there is existing rust, Rustoleum and probably others have primer made for rusty areas, but it's far better to get it down to bare metal. However might not be that easy to do in tight areas, uneven spots like welds, etc. |

This paint is especially good for fences. The only possible drawback is that the coating is always bright silver. On a fence the bright silver coat is not unnatural. https://gharpedia.com/aluminium-paint |

A good cold galvanize or high zinc epoxy primer is MUCH better than powder coat. |

Years since I saw auto-body processes. Only difference I see today is more environmentally friendly paint: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_paint Metal prep was most important and sometimes one sided galvanized was used as apparently 2 sided is harder to weld. I recall Renault talking about hot dipping the whole welded body. For a bicycle I'd sand down to bare metal and prime with a Rustoleum and final coat on whole bike. |
