Hey everyone, I have a question.
We painted a house a few years ago that had a lot of rusty nails on the exterior. The trim was fine, but pretty much every nail head on/in the claps was rusting. After sanding, we did a full coat of oil based primer, and then two coats of latex finish.
By the next summer the rust was showing again.
My question is basically this; What is the best way to stop the rust from showing? We gathered that the initial problem was the nails used to build the house, because it's the only house in the neighborhood with the issue (each house built by the same builder, around the same time). What methods have you guys used to solve a problem like this? And does it work?
Thanks guys, I plan on posting on here a lot from here on out. I've been working with my Uncle's company for about 10 years now and I'm in the process of maximizing his business. I've found a lot of the discussions on here to be very useful, and I plan on using this as a tool to perfect my approach in the future.
