Hi all,

 

patio support beams into tiles around salt water pool area. Can see some surface rust at the base (see pics) . Not surprised as pool

Re: How to remove, protect a paint

Hi @P738952,

 

Thank you for your question.

 

Start by removing as much of the surface rust as possible with a wire brush.

 

Once it has been tidied up and the flaking rust has been removed, use a paintbrush to apply White Knight 0.125L Rust Guard Rust Converter and wait two hours for the reaction to take place.

 

After the two-hour wait time, apply a metal primer followed by 1-2 coats of a metal topcoat to match the rest of the post.

 

Let me know if you have any further questions.

 

Jacob
