I am looking for a product to use to coat welded steel plate connections in precast concrete that will be exposed to the weather (hot/cold/rain/snow). The concern is that the plates may oxidize and the resulting rust may drip onto decorative elements. The client wants something "better" than our standard paint spec of Devguard Structural Primer and Enamel.

Any suggestions?
