Rust staining refers to the occurrence of a paint defect that is due to the discoloration of an applied coating on a substrate. The discoloration occurs due to the accumulation of reddish colored iron oxide deposits. Such paints are applied to metal surfaces as protection against corrosion. View Full Term
