Scott: I use the Gemplers rust/primer product and then use an Acrylic enamel with hardener from Big A Auto parts. With all the effort put into preparing an implement for paint... don't skimp on the paint. Acrylic enamel is relatively easy to
mix, apply and the hardener gives a good shine
without buffing as well as eliminates fading and
chalking.

Since there is no such thing as rust killing paint the object has to be rust free to begin with. The reason your implements rusted in the first place is because of a chip in the paint or because it was exposed to sun rays that deteriorated the paint until moisture penetrated it. Implement paint, that is the paint that you buy from dealerships or farm stores is the lowest grade of paint that you can buy because the pigment is of a synthol or alkyd enamel base. It goes on shiny and looks comparable to the acrylic enamels or even the polyurethanes but loses its gloss after a short time in the elements and breaks down[fades] allowing moisture to penetrate it. So if you are not going to keep your stuff in a shed I'd really consider Acrylic enamel at the very least and buy it at the auto parts store most of them can get you the color of any implement you want.It'll be more expensive but think of it as kind of a machine shed for each individual piece. But first make sure that there is no rust on the metal to be painted and use a good primer sealer[one that you don't have to sand],follow the instructions on the can, put on two to three good wet coats of primer then at least two good coats of paint and you should be getting the best insurance that you can get without a shed. By the way when I was restoring cars you'd be surprised at the folks that thought I could spray a rust preventative paint like rustoleum over their rusty cars and it would go away!
