Preventing Surface Rust while working

[RodC]

You guys oughta go over to paint and body now and again


Ok guys, I have my bed apart and I am welding up some holes. If this project is going to take a few months and my panels are going to be stored in a cold garage, how can I keep it from rusting? The weater may not get warm enough to get out the ole paint gun to shoot primer. (I dont want to spray in my garage open flame heat not good ventelation etc )

I dont like the Idea of spray can primer because I would just have to remove it when I get ready to shoot the real stuff.

Do I just let it rust then remove it? Seems like this would be the same effort as the spray bomb primer.
