Last time my boat was out of the water, about 3 years ago, I painted the keels with POR 15. This year when it came out there are some rust spots which I would like to deal with. Is there any paint, which I can buy tomorrow, to paint on the spots before I anti-foul it?

I treat my steel lift keel with Dulux Metalshield; 1 part but does require its' own primer.

Don't laugh at the 'Dulux' bit, I've tried everything going ( used to work in a chandlery ) and this stuff is remarkably good; around £20 a tin each for the primer & paint, available at decent paint suppliers like Brewers - no connection.

Many thanks, I will see what I can find in the morning. I am also considering one of the acid type rust cures.
