when a coating of paint is applied to steel, it seals the from the air. When raw metal is exposed to air (specifically oxygen), a process called oxidization gradually occurs which creates the rust. Good surface preparation, followed by a primer and a top coat will barrier the steel from the elements, therefore prevent oxidization and in turn prevent rust.
