Rust Proof Paint
Rust Proof Paint
(OP)
What is the best course of action to remove the existing rust/corrosion and paint the steel so that we could get at least 15 years out of it. The environment is pretty harsh with hot moist summers and below freezing winters with snow and ice. The paint will be used on the stairs as they will be exposed to salt/calcium chloride. Also, the location is close to the ocean and has to resist salt air as well.
