What color paint prevents rust best?

i think you may want to reword your question. is there rust already, and are you just painting over the rust? in this case, paint will not stop rust. eventually, the rust will bubble up the nice looking paint, and it'll continue to rust through. If there isn't rust yet,.. two advantages to using paint (as opposed to using oil or other processes) to PREVENT rust: 1) relatively cheap and available (it can be as simple as rattle can or as fancy as a professional paint job) 2) you can get any color you want (using other means to stop rust just isn't as purdy) :]
