Are there any problems with rusting involving the cast iron pieces, particularly the fountains?
While it is true that bare cast iron will oxidize, Robinson Iron takes special care in its painting process sealing each piece from the elements. A thorough coat of Tnemec brand two-part epoxy primer is applied to prevent rusting. Additionally, any piece that is intended to be submersed receives a base coat of zinc primer followed by the epoxy primer. Depending on the final finish, the piece may receive as many as three additional coats of paint as well. Robinson Iron provides a touch-up kit upon request.
