Rusty ReptiBreeze

Hi chamily! I need your expertise. While I was cleaning up Lily's old ReptiBreeze in preparation to convert it to bioactive, I noticed considerable rusting on the bottom 1/3 around the seams and mesh. I neglected to take any pictures, as I was in "fix it" mode and immediately went to lightly sand affected areas down after intensive scrubbing failed. Oops? :oops: Probably should have asked before I went and did! Ah well.

What kind of paint would be best for touching up a scuffed up ReptiBreeze and prevent it from rusting in a bioactive environment? Ideally, I'd like to keep to a satin or matte black. A spray of some sort may be convenient.

Thoughts?

@Brodybreaux25, you're good at this sort of thing. Any recommendations?
 
If you are a masochist you could just replace the mesh with aluminum screen, it only requires a good set of scissors and a $4 window screen tool. But its a bit of a nack to learn, as if its too tight it will distort the frame, and if its too lose you will lese pretension and the cage may get floppy.

Thanks Brody - i figured you'd know what's up! :D I'll see I if i can find something equivalent around here.

Let's be honest, here - I'm more than masochistic enough to do that! :LOL: It has a few tears in the screen, anyway... I honestly might as well! Obviously I'd need to disassemble the cage to do so, but if I'm repainting it I may as well do it right.
