The original pool sides were porcelain covered steel. Old porcelain enamel was sandblasted off. Have painted/coated the sides and bottom with two component epoxy paint. Rust stains develop randomly around the sides of the steel panels. It appears that the steel panels are rusting from behind the panels and not from the pool/water side.
Is there a fix such as applying fiberglass type panels over the sides, leaving the steel panels in place?
