Thanks. Yeah, I was surprised how well the Rustoleum worked and held up.
I don't know how much of the thread you read but I was originally going to spray it with rattle can primer. But I didn't want light gray or red oxide because everyone does that so I sprayed it with Duplicolor primer that came in a medium green. I thought that would work well but it didn't. It started showing rust through the primer really quickly.
That's when I took a trip to Home Depot for something better and found the Rustoleum Sage Green in Satin. Satin is the trick. Not flat and not gloss so it doesn't show "stripes" if you don't apply it evenly. Anyway, that was my experience. It lasted a couple years with no rust, I touched it up here and there if it got chipped and it didn't show. Best of luck.
