anti-rust painting

[Xaryo]

I rencently acquired an old (1970) steel cylinder. I had it sandblasted to remove the old vinyl coating that had some rust spot on .

Before Isend the cylinder to the hydro for testing, I would like to put some anti-rust paint on it.

Does any Tremclad-like aerosol paint available in all good Canadian Tire or Home depot would be correct or I have to go to a paint shop?

ZRC - ZRC Galvilite Galvanizing Repair Compound was recommended to me by a couple of gurus here on SB, but luckily enough when I removed the paint from my 72s they were already galvanized.

Best place to look for ZRC is an industrial supply store or direct from ZRC. I recomend rolling on 3 coats with a foam roller. Spray cans don't put on a even or thick enough coat.

Rustoleum also makes a cold galvanizing compound. It comes in aerosol spray cans and you can get it at your local hardware store.

Try this stuff. It is awesome for cars. You can put it on and paint over it with the color you want. it acts as a really hard primer. Your tank will never rust again...ever.
