Touching-up the Paint on Atwood Jacks
My 2008 Lance camper's Atwood Jacks are in need on some touch-up white paint as the rust spots are getting bigger and more of them. Any recommendations on paint & procedure.

Im no expert painter so I did what the paint store owner told me to do 3 years ago and have not had to touch it again. (2008 Atwood Jacks)
I lightly wire brushed the flakey rust off , he said this product needs rust to stabilize the new surface so the new paint can have something to bite, it acts like a primer in that respect.
I applied 5 very thin spray coats and then painted the Atwood legs with white oil base metal paint. That's it .
It does have an odor which doesn't really matter unless you plan on doing this in your living room.
