steel members in a terrarium

[whir]

I am doing some light structural modifications to steel supporting a roof in a terrarium. Very high humidity. The existing steel is showing surface rust. Nothing that is drastically degrading the steel. I am going to have them clean the visible rust and paint all of the members. Does anyone have suggestions on techniques or a special kind of paint in this application?

I have seen epoxy based paints used very successfully. Expensive!!

Get with a supplier.

Try Carboline. Their coatings are used in a lot of industrial maintenance applications. Carbomastic 15 is one coating good where preparation is less than ideal.
