The OSPHO works great. We have a steel flag pole at our house and it was in pretty bad shape when we bought the house. I unbolted the flag pole, set it on saw horses, and used a disc sander with 80 drit and sanded down to bare metal. Then I coated the flag pole with a couple of coats of OSPHO, then 2 coats of rusty metal primer and then 2 coats of Rustoleum.

Looks great.
