The paint prevents the metal from coming in direct contact with air and moisture, which are what cause corrosion.
You first spray an anti-corrosion paint
Here are four ways (adapted from the related link): Corrosion control Protective coatings: Most widely used corrosion control technique. Protective coatings protect metal from corrosion by separating the surfaces that are susceptible to corrosion from the factors in the environment which cause corrosion to occur. Cathodic protection: interferes with the natural action of the electrochemical cells that are responsible for corrosion. Cathodic protection can be effectively applied to control corrosion of surfaces that are immersed in water or exposed to soil. Corrosion inhibitor: Uses one or more of these mechanisms: Adsorption as a thin film on the surface of a corroding material; inducing formation of a thick corrosion product; forming a passive film on the metal surface; changing characteristics of the environment either by producing protective precipitates or by removing or inactivating an aggressive constituent.
Galvanizing is a process in chemistry where a protective layer of zinc is applied to metal surfaces to prevent corrosion. This is done through a method called electroplating, where the metal surface is coated with a thin layer of zinc through an electrochemical reaction. The zinc acts as a sacrificial anode, meaning it corrodes before the underlying metal does, thus protecting the metal surface from rust and corrosion.
Not directly onto powder coat. But it will work if you prime the powder coat.
To effectively neutralize rust on metal surfaces, you can use a chemical rust converter or a homemade solution of vinegar and baking soda. These substances work by converting the rust into a more stable compound, preventing further corrosion. After applying the solution, scrub the surface with a wire brush or sandpaper to remove the loosened rust. Finally, apply a rust-inhibiting primer and paint to protect the metal from future rusting.
If it's a work van, use solid-color paint because it's a little less expensive. If it's not a work van, use whichever you like.
Probably not, but there are people who have painted their cars with rustoleum brand paint, and it didn't turn out too bad. Google it. MY ANSWER: Well, it depends on spray paint -if you buy the correct kind then it most likely will turnout fine. If the spray paint bottle says that it will work on metal then there is no reason that it wouldn't work out on a metal bike.

Corrosion on aircraft structures create pits in the metal, which can increase the stress and cause cracks to develope. However, modern aircraft have a safety factor included in their analysis of the lugs(holes) that allow for re-work of the bores. So the hole can be repaired without any impact on Margin of Safety. I'm not sure how it endangers an aircraft's efficiency. Corrosion is harmful to the metal strength like rust. At the end the metal might break apart.
I would take it to a reputable body shop and have them examine it and write their findings down.
The best paint for outdoor metal patio furniture is one that will match with the theme. You should find paint that is appealing and makes your patio area look attractive. Natural colors like green and brown work for most people.
The two quickest methods to remove paint from metal are, the use of heat, and chemical strippers. A propane torch or heat gun will soften the paint so that it can easily be scraped off. This may generate toxic fumes, though, and should be done outside or with a respirator. There is also a risk of injury due to the heated metal. Chemical strippers are available on the market for removing paint from metal as well. The active ingredient in many such products is methylene chloride, which is very toxic and should be used with caution in a well ventilated area. There are also paint strippers that do not contain dangerous methylene chloride and work extremely well. Peel Away 7 or Smart Strip Paint Remover are the best to remove paint from metal especially if there are multiple layers of old paint. These products are available at stores like Sherwin Williams or Home Depot.
cold galvanizing might work it prevents corriosion, pipes from the store are galvonized. Heat paint only looks nice, but rember if you weld galvanized stuff it can emit an amount of toxic gas
