Ammo Can Care

[Houndkeeper]

Anything one can do to cut down on any rusting happening to ammo cans? Other than the obvious moisture control or course.

How about painting.....anyone ever paint one?

How about a lovely lilac or periwinkle?

I keep forgetting I bought a bunch from Midway. Much more reasonably priced with C&R. I'll have to try it out on my new acquisitions.

+1 for POR15. Used that stuff when I worked in a restoration shop. Incredible product, but I think it might be a little pricey for what you want to use it for. Some good ole' fashion spray paint and some moisture packs from shipping boxes etc. should do the trick.

Install a golden rod in the storage area.

Use plastic.

I have never had much of a rusting issue, on the ones I got rusted I just hit em with rustoleum.

Guess it is all about storage.

or search on 'eezox'

The 32 oz is like 1/2 price with C&R dealer discount.

Do a quick google and see the benefits of this stuff.

I'd probably hit at least the rusted part [if not all]of the can with some cheap oven cleaner from a dollar store and steel wool, then spray on OD paint. I've had to do this on occasion. Oven cleaner will really strip paint and is cheaper than the "official" paint stripper.
