so that gold plating it had on it was all that was stopping it from rusting?

yep pretty much
just spray on a layer of silver paint to stop it rusting if you didn't want it gold

anyways, where best to get CHEAP primer & paint.

I know the obvious answers, just someone might know a specific place that sells down right dirt cheap stuff.

thats what i'm after.

oh well the black paint was keeping it from rusting

supercheap sells a can of paint for about $3
just get some primer and whatever colour
$6 should cover it

I would have loved to keep it that stock gold color, but in order to get that paint off, i had to take that plating off too.

ohh wells, thanks mate.

You can also get zinc coating in a can if you want a plated finish.
