A full repaint is due.... powder coat the stripping to bare steel is part of the process... ask the same color be applied if you like it
I just want to neutralize it
you want to do an inadequate job.?
I've been thinking of buying some Hammerite Kurust and just painting it over the rust sports. What do you think?
Sand each spot, down to bare metal,, then go with your touch up paint ... a zinc primer is a good idea.. (Done on Steel structures.. Ships, bridges.. )
