How do i keep my steel from rusting
Hey guys. I just fabbed up a steel front bumper guard and i kind of like the natural silver steel color. I know if I do not paint the guard it will rust. My question is- What do I put on it so that it will protect it from the weather but still show the natural silver of the steel?
Thanks-Blake

Might look into galvanizing that part.
Otherwise Por-15 has some clear coat products:

And that steel will rust even if not wet. My rear bumper/tire carrier is rusting well on it's own. I like to let the rust get to it for a while to rough up the surface before painting it.

Ok completely changing my plans. I couldn't get ever last spec of paint off of it and i don't have the money to go get it sandblasted so I'm just going to scuff up the surfaces prime it and paint it satin black. I'll have pics up tonight.

Well cost came into play. I made this from stuff that was sitting in the garage one day when i was bored. Since it was my first time i thought I would start out with something simple.
