Thanks for the info. What do you think of Tremco? It says "no priming" required. Then later it rusts again, even though I have done all the preparations that the instructions required.

[AsktheBuilder]

I've not used that brand.

Thanks, this will help me refinishing the clawfoot tub I picked up for $50.

my 1980's ford crown vic has a chrome metal AND aluminum bumper, and the two metals clash and actually causes rust. Some kind of weird reaction when the 2 metals meet together. Your suggestion of using a zinc based primer is right on target. I sandblasted underbelly/floors, then painted w/ 16oz rattle can of Rustoleum ZINC Cold Galvanizing Compound spray paint primer (I think it's 93% pure zinc)...then top coated with undercoating. Worked great, has lasted many years of salted roads so far.

too bad aluminum also "rusts". The rust on aluminum looks grayish instead of brown like it looks on other metals.

Rust on steel is oxidation. It is a normal chemical process as the iron atom tries to become stable. Aluminum does the same thing - it oxidizes. But with aluminum, the oxidation is slower and does not affect its strength. We all know that rusty steel or iron is not as strong as that which is not rusted through.

depends on the thickness of the aluminum. A buddy of mine had an aluminum frame on his Remote control car. Well too bad he forgot it out i his moisty garage for the winter. It currently needs a new frame as the old one (covered in grayish stuff-"rust") broke when he floored it few weeks ago.

To my knowledge Aluminum "rusts" extremely fast. The difference is that this rust/oxidation creates an air tight seal across the surface preventing any further oxidation due to lack of oxygen.

The videographer and I had a ton of fun taping that ending. Trying to be informative and a tad bit entertaining.
