In Chemistry it is possible to galvinise a nail using a power supply and a metal which is higher up in the electrochemical series. this must be done using an electrolight solution. The metal coating now rusts before the metal which has been galvinised. There may be various sprays which you can buy. Another way to make something rust proof is to paint it. This cuts of the oxygen and any water getting to the metal. I hope this helps Orkem
