Rust spots on a shower rod

Our metal shower rod (I think its chrome) was covered in small rust spots, each the diameter of a pencil eraser or smaller.  I had read a couple of suggestions online and after a hard scrubbing with steel wool I've gotten it to the point that they aren't really noticable when the curtain is up but they are definitely still there.  At this point I'm more leaning towards just buying a new rod but wondered if anyone else had been really successful at making the rod look like new again.

Re: Rust spots on a shower rod

  • Yes.  I spray painted it. 
  • I am not typically one to throw anything away; but, I threw out my old rusty rod and bought a new "rust proof" shower rod.  Now, every so often I make sure to wipe off the rod.  I've had it about a year and (so far) no rust.  It was a Canopy from WalMart ($17 w/white "finials" on each end).
  • I ended up noticing that there are some scratches in the metal finish.  We're hoping to repaint our bathroom in the not-too-distant future so I think we'll buy a new rod then and rust proof it.
