Default I had all the rusting screws replaced when I had the screen replaced.

Now starting to see a lot of rusting screws and a whitening of the bottom rails (not mold...more like calcium deposit).

I am not sure painting is a practical option. I am curious what others have done with their aging bird cage frame.

10 years ago every time I walked out on my pool deck all I could see was hundreds of rusting screws and sagging screens.
I had my screens replaced by Todd's and I had all the rusting screws replaced at the same time. They replaced all the rusting #6 screws with #8. If they couldn't get a screw out they drilled a new hole and put in a new screw. It was a lot of work and they spent a lot more time than planned and they did a great job.
