T&T: Anchor chain painting

Nope, I'll never buy that. Like I said, rust destroys...it doesn't protect. 
Rust is oxidation of the base metal, eating away at it. A coat of rust just 
shows the base metal is under attack at the interface. ANY protection from 
oxidation is better than the metal being oxidized. If you think you're using 
rust to protect metal....
