Coat steel with a rust inhibitor or cap the lintels

11/13/2004 10:47 AM thills

Several windows have rusted window headers or lintels. Should I remove the rust and coat all accessible steel with a rust inhibitor and then paint or should I cap the lintels with thin aluminum sheets? Are both ways equal in quality and longevity and which way is cheaper?
