Slightly damp garage.

I think the problem is that a grinder just can't remove all the rust.  It 
can't get down into the pits like sandblasting can.

I don't recall now whether I used an etchant, but I might not have, just 
counted on Rustoleum red oxide primer to do its job (which apparently it 
didn't).
