Hi,

I have recently installed grilles for the front door, sliding door and all the windows in my apartment about 4 months ago.
However, now I realized that the grilles are starting to rust, especially at the edges.
I already told the person who installed the grille for me but he simply put another layer of paint to cover it up.

Is there anyway for me to prevent rusting of the grille that doesnt cost so much money?
Can I just spray WD40 on the edges/joints?

*any feedback would be really appreciated.

paint urself

If paint, wont it rust again in the future?

It'll rush again as long as it exposed to air. Especially outdoor.

Try to roughen the surface with sandpaper, then apply metal primer & follow by paint. Lastly, apply another layer of gloss paint.

Should last u for years if u do so.

yeap, that's the proper way.

sand blast & repaint..cost $$

Alot of time to do this, but I think that this is the best way, but I dont have alot of time to do this.
Any other way to do or any shortcut?

No times. Paid ppl to do it.
No $. Do it urself.

Try to use epoxy paint to cover the rusty edge, should prevent it from further rusting & corrosion. Only not nice finishing.

No time and no $$, just sit and watch it berkarat.
Will check on the epxy paint, thanks.
