Painting Drums
Short answer: Clean them up and brush on POR-15 (a rust-killing coating that bonds to bare metal and acts as primer + color — comes in black, gray, silver), then a clear coat. Two coats plus clear looks great.
POR-15 (por15.com) is non-porous (applies fine in humidity) and dries with little brush marking — just be careful, it’s very hard to get off skin.
