Then an application of "Metal Ready" and 2 coats of Rustoleum Hammered paint with a brush. I had a couple of rattle cans of the same for the hard to reach areas.

Well, that is a big plus for the rustoleum in that if you can stick with stock colors, you can get rattle cans for the places a brush or roller just won't go.

This thread has forced me to rethink my whole strategy. With the expense of commercial re-spraying, a couple of hundred bucks on POR was a small price to pay to insure that respray wouldn't be ruined with rust bubbles in a few years.

With the ability to do that topcoat for less than what I would pay for the POR alone, there is no financial reason to get paranoid about the rust.

If the rust pops back, fix it immediately and re-seal the area with the roller...
