[QUOTE="turkeyrun, post: 4105675, member: 27991"] Paint it with mitts. Don't soak the mitts. Spread the paint to not leave too thick. Use a metal primer and metal paint. Sprayer uses more paint, will have thin spots and harder to get full coverage. Good primer / paint will last years. Dad had a RV awning put up 30 years ago. 3" pipe poles, not painted. Some had rusted through in 15 years. Papa put his up in '68. Always scraped, primed and painted BEFORE needed. No rust, still solid. Painted on 10-12 year cycle. Depending on the look you want, aluminum paint holds up well. Black looks good. A rust brown color would be a natural look. [/QUOTE]
