Not one of the usual conversations for the reflector but looking for some advice, some of you may have been through this before!

I recently got a Rohn BX tower (super cheap) and it has some surface rust on it.  What can you guys recommend for paint??  I already have a BX40 in the air here now and when i got that tower it had a few places of rust on the cross bracing and the rotor plate, i touched it up with a can of cold galvanizing spray paint, to the tune of nearly $15 for one can!

The project i have now is a BX32 with surface rust on all four sections in one place or another, i would say at least 25-30% of each section as it was down on the ground for some time, and so i plan on cleaning each section and repainting, but at nearly $15 a can for the cold galvanizing paint i need a better alternative than spending the cost of a tower to paint this one!

Any product suggestions, stores that sell it, etc, would be appreciated.  I was told that the cold galvanizing paint can be bought by the gallon and applied by brush as well, but i have not yet found any stores that sell it.
