As far as paint, I found that Ace Hardware has everything I need. Their Rust Stop paint is made by Sherwin Williams, is cheaper than Rust Oleum, and has a tintable base for custom color matching. Don't waste your time on the Ace website, it's not user friendly. Go in to their paint department, pick up a brochure on the Rust Stop paint, then find the most experienced sales agent in the department and talk to them. The first time I went into our Ace, I talked to a young kid and he kept telling me that there was no custom color matching on Rust Stop paint. It took an older sales agent to straighten him out.

Hope that helps. . .



That's just the kind of tip I was looking for.

Is Rust Stop the same kind of paint as Rustoleum, so it should have the same kind of longevity?
Thanks!



Yep, if you google Ace Rust Stop Paint, it will give you a search result that takes you to Purdue University MSDA reports, and it's an identical match to a lot of the more expensive rust preventitive and acrylic enamel auto paints. . .just cheaper. ..
