Funny you should mention fence posts. I have about 1500 feet of pipe fence around part of my property. It's made from old drilling pipe, and some of it is rusting through the paint put on by the original installer.
To repair those areas, I've been wire brushing the heavily rusted areas to knock off the rust flakes, and then use the Eastwood products. I've used the 2-part rust converter previous to the current product - and no rust on areas repaired 5 years ago.
I've been using the Eastwood rust encapsulator as the primer on tractor implements for about 3 years. I clean the implements with abrasive wheels to knock down the rust and feather out chips in the existing paint, and then prime with the rust encapsulator. The implements primed with the rust encapsulator seem to keep their paint better than the ones primed with zinc chromate primer.
