As far as Im concerned, if the nail is rusty on the head, then it may be rusting all the way through causing deep damage. Priming the head is only a temporary measure. Only sure fire way is to pull the nails. But who wants to pay for that is the question..

The painting business certainly has a wide variety of skill sets. Having knowledge in every area takes alot of time. I for instance have never done an epoxy floor and that would freak me out. Or structural steel where proper sandblasting methods are required. Although I've painted 100's of exterior houses, I choose now to only do interior for my own reasons. I have however been a self taught carpenter over the last several years. Sometimes you have to learn on the fly.
