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) :]
