And if the surface prep is perfect, a normal paint system will do! These paints are for imperfectly prepared surfaces, and hold back the rust a bit longer. Finishing off with a good wax/bitumen based coating will make a lot of difference on exposed areas, but if there's still rust underneath, it will get through eventually and flake off these hard thick coatings in chunks. Before they flake off, you've trapped a lot of corrosion-inducing moisture and salt next to the metal underneath. Don't skimp on the preparation - leave that to the professionals! Dave.
