I used salt air as a slang term. However salt, whether on highways or just close to the coast has an effect. I grew up in south Texas, about 200 miles west of the Gulf, I went to college in Kingsville Texas in the 50's about 40 miles from the Gulf when cars and trucks had virtually no rust protection. It took only a couple of years for rust to start -- so the salt air does make a difference. All of my rust is gone, pits or not before I paint. I have only done this a little more than 10 years and have seen absolutely no paint lifted -- chipped, yes, but not rust. However all my tractors are inside, but I would expect the same outside.

I did a little painting in my building at a temp of 95--I don't particularly like doing it when it is that "warm". If I remember some of your earlier posts, the rust in the pits that lifted the paint was done by a not so professional painter, not you.

He was a farmer by birth and a farmer by choice, and like many returning soldiers, he was our silent hero: without medals or decorations, but with a certain ability to survive. It was on his farm that I learned to use the combination hand clutch and brake on a John D
