[TheForge] rust finish

[Peter Fels & Phoebe Palmer]

I am Wayne;
At my last place, 20 ga would perforate in a year..but that severity 
drops off pretty quickly as you get back from the surf.
Except for road salt exposure, i wouldn't even consider paint there 
myself. Cold shuts and overlaps may be one  exception, thin intricate 
work is another...fusst clients yet another.
Where it's warm and wet and salty is where the corrosion is max.
Unless you have delusions of immortality; stout, unpainted steel does 
reasonably well.
Steel is transient and so are we...pf
