Back in November 2021 the support bars were attached to the house floor frame, and in June 2023 I noticed they were looking a bit rusty, so I set to work to try and keep them in good condition for the future.

I got my hands on a few likely looking products, mostly second hand partly used products. This one is like an acid, very runny.

The metal turns a dramatic black when it converts the rust. It left a funny mark when it dribbled on the galvanised floor supports, probably not good.

This one is like a paint.

It's a pretty grey colour.

And then I got this primer.

And then I got this top coat that is exactly the same colour as our Colorbond trim.

It looks fantastic finally finished!

I think there's still a few waiting for me to get the final coat on, one day when I'm not busy doing other things...
