What’s the condition of the steel beams? I just buff the beams, wipe with gas and prime.

A very good rust treatment is magic rust seal. Most hardwares has it ,the dealer is on O'Meara rd opposite ACL. It dries as a black primer ,in half an hour. Just wipe it on the beams with a cloth or brush ,it will treat the rust, then paint with zinc chromate red or grey.

Any idea of the prices? Those small spray bottles in hardwares/tile places are around $75.
I'm looking for like 5 gallons.
