For minor surface rust, after prepping the surface spray on cold
galvanizing paint. These contain lots of zinc. This is a case of 'you get what
you pay for'. The cheap hardware store varieties run and don't adhere very
well. LPS makes a good one as does Klein.
For bigger problems, you can use Rust Converter. You apply it and it
reacts with the rust. It neutalizes it and then forms a hard coating over it.
If you're interested, you can check the yellow pages and call a local
industrial coatings supplier. There are lots of products out there depending
on what you want to do and how much you want to spend.
