What is my best option to keeping the rust from returning?
I purchased a couple of calipers from a guy who had them stored in his musty old basement.
Shown in the picture is one that I cleaned using a brass wire wheel on my drill. As you can see it cleaned up very well. Now how do I keep it looking like that?
I looked at the Dupli-Color Caliper paint kit in a box. I'm a terrible painter with a brush so I figure rattle can would do.
My intention is to paint them with a High Temp Ceramic Paint, to look like Cast Iron. Anyone have a better solution?

I would greatly apreaciate any insight form all.
