i would not buy cheap and throw away i would buy as cheap as i could and then use por (paint over rust actual name of the paint. i spread salt for spring township in the winter and alot of miles but rural and so theres alot of road to cover but not alot of tax base. reason i point this out is we keep equipment a long time. we buy the states used junk and use it some more. we have used por and the salt boxes hydraulic fuel tank fenders and love it the stuff works great EXCEPT (no product is perfect) when trying to get the stuff to adhere to itself (such as having a break or a crack grinding the paint off and trying to paint it again and also it doesnt work well on plastics and fiberglass. reason we used or tried por on non metallic surfaces obviously not for the concern of rust it was because the product is very resistant to chips rocks scratches etc so we thought wed try it on the underside of some fenders etc and even following manufactures recommendations we did not have very good luck trying ot get eh product to adhere to plastic and fiberglass. we also like i said dont have good luck trying to grind the paint off fix the problem and then paint again. my .02 but if you were looking for something to last till your grandkids are old and gray try that por stuff expensive pry cost you as much to paint the thing as the spreader cost you but it should very well last you forever. weve been using the product now for 4 or 5 years and so far even the first stuff we painted is looking good.
